MOVING!!

[agpoel]

I am going to be moving about 25 miles from my current home and have to move all of my fish. Can I take the water from their aquarium and take it to the new house and then put the water and the fish in? Will there still be some good bacteria in it? I have albino cories and dont want them to die...

That should be fine, just remember to keep everything wet so the bacteria does not die. However when you set it back up, wait for the temp to stabilize before sticking the fish in.

Good luck,
Daniel

Thanks for the info. Hopefully everything will go well.

yeh bacteria can live aslong as its wet and has food to eat, so like u have about 30-40 hours before alota bacteria starts to die off i believe ive been told. Also some bacteria may be lost due to temperature fluxes. Overall u will still have alota bacteria and really help the tank out when u re-establish it.
