Here the story. im moving a 55g from my dads house. he has had the tank for years but hes never been much of a fishkeeper. there is one adult african cichlid in the tank with some severe fish acne from poor water conditions. I have a 20g with 9 juvenile african cichlids and a pleco at my place. soo.......heres my plan. im going to drain the 55g keeping 20g of tank water and the gravel in 5g buckets. Drive the hour to my house set it up, and fill it, including the gravel and 20g of saved tank water. im going to start with just the one cichlid with acne in the 55g until im sure that the water chemistry is right, and to start treating his problems. then im going to move the juvies to the larger tank and keep the adult in the 20g.
Any suggestions and tips would be great thanks
