 Fish in smaller tanks? Okay im moving my tank friday night, and setting everything up saturday morning...The only time i will have to move my fish,inverts,and corals into smaller tanks is thursday...i can rig my lighting up well enough to support the corals i have a 29 gallon and a 20 gallon for fish and corals...all my live rock will be in rubbermaid totes from thursday night to saturday morning. and everything else will be in the smaller tanks with a powerheads and a small filters. Do you think this will stress everthing out to much being in holding tanks for this long after being in a 150 for so long?

| Re: Fish in smaller tanks? As long as it is not for an extended period of time and the tanks were taken care of i dont see why not. You can take a fish from the ocean, put it is a tiny net, throw it into a plastic bag, and then put it into an airplane where it undergoes the pressure changes or atmosphere, and then land it and ship it in a truck in the same bag without feeding it to a LFS, where it probably gets little acclimation and then you buy it. I think they will be alright in tanks for a few days...lol |
