I'd add that you should fast the fish 24 hours before the move. Less waste in the water means cleaner conditions during transit. And yeah, keep the media wet, maybe in a bucket with a lid.

Good luck indeed, I feel you, catching fish with a net can be quite the ordeal. I recall my own experience moving my fish from a 15-gallon tank to a larger one, it was a real challenge, especially since I was converting the 15-gallon into a shrimp tank.

I had to remove as much as I could, but ...

My otos and nerite snails do a decent job keeping the biofilm in check and nipping at the algae. They're not perfect, but they're a big help. In my smaller tank, the corys are like little vacuum cleaners - they dive into the thick plant growth, looking for food and occasionally uprooting some of the ...

When the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta opened, I got a year-long pass and would often take my kids there - we'd sit and ...

Having started out in gardening on land before moving to aquatic plants, I can tell you that lack of light is likely the reason for plants not having leaves on their lower parts. As plants grow upwards in a tank, they tend to block the light that reaches the bottom, resulting in bare stems near ...

I tend to feed on a whim, often a bit too much, then take a break for a couple of days. When I do feed, I usually give them just a small amount, so it gets eaten quickly, mostly.
