Guys
I have two separate batch of cichlid fry in two separate 1 footer tanks. The first batch of fry is 3 months old, and the 2nd batch is 2 months old.
They are both at the stage I really need to move them to a bigger tank.
To cut the long story short, I need the space of both 1 footer to put the 2.5 footer tank. So I can't really cycle the 2.5 footer tank.
Is it okay to transfer the water from both 1 footer tanks into the new 2.5 footer tank, and top it up with new water??? Would that work? Temperatures of both tanks are set the same at 26 degrees.
I have one sponge filter in each of the 1 footer as well, so I will be transferring both sponge filters into the 2.5 footer too.
Thoughts?
