Hi all,
I'm in the process of slowly shutting down a tropical tank and I have a bristlenose in there that I want to put in my cichlid tank.
Now obviously the water is quite different in the two tanks so I was wondering how I can go about this without stressing the BN too much?
Or should I just pop her in the new tank and not worry about it?

hi cawdor

there shouldnt be a problem at all but if ur worry, put her into a bucket with water from the tank she came from and gradually mix it with the cichlid tank water so she can adapt and then ur done, just like introducing any other fish to a new tank ... 8)

hope that helps

David
