QUESTION: Hello

I want to know how to move my kribensis with fry to a new
tank. Can you please tell me how do i do it???



ANSWER: The quickest way to do it is to move them by net. The fry should still be with the parents so putting them in a different tank should be just as easy as moving a normal fish with no fry. Just be sure if the tank they are goin in isn't cycled that you keep it healthy until it cycles. Just keep hiding spots available. I would appreciate it if would go back and rate all of the answers I have provided. Thanks a lot. Good luck. Let me know if you need more help

QUESTION: Hey again
So all i do is move them one by one and just putting them in
the new tank?!? Should'nt i first let them climatize or if
the new tanks temp is the same can i just put them
over.?.Please tell me if im unclear and you dont understand
because im afrikaans and its hardto convert what i want to
say in english????I wnat to move them as soon as possible..

Thanks

Answer
Yes you got! I do understand you completely. If I didn't I would ask you again. You must always let the water temp be the same. I would recommend you take water from whatever tank they are in now to put in the one that you are moving them too.  Then of course top off the tank they are moving from. This should work just perfect for you. Please rate again.
