I'd come to that conclusion too. :good: I decided not to get Moores but to look for some white cloud minnows to keep him company.

Just a quick update really, I have put one of the filter sponges from my old tank into my new one and added 'cycle' to both tanks. I'm also monitoring my new tank carefully so I can be sure it is ready for Big before he moves. This is his new tank in the process of cycling:-

I'll certainly post pics of him asap. He seems very normal in shape, just very small. I don't know what his innerds are like though. Probably all squished up. :( The new tank is cycling at the moment and once it is established, he will move across.
