How should I move Cory fish out of the tank? They are fast moving fish. should I use a cup, or fish net? Do cory fish jump? I think I can remove my glow tetra's, they do not swim away, when I come towards the tank. Maybe they be easy to catch, once I empty out, some of the fish water.

Do I throw the sand in the tank, while the fish are in the tank? I do not want to stress the fish out, by pouring sand in the tank. Or does it matter?

What do I remove the gravel with? I have paper cups, but it may take awhile to get all the gravel out. What would you suggest?

Do you mean this play sand. I found on Amazon? Play sand

Do I Pour old tank water over the gravel a few times to rinse away the debris? What I mean is; when I put the sand in my tank Do I rinse with tank water?

Is this sand ok to buy? Sand for fish I also have a 20 gal tank, so how much sand should I buy?

I get 2 temp readings. The strip that I have on the tank reads: 77 degrees. The thermometer reads 80. Which should I believe? I also will buy soft sand, for my fish, and get rid of the gravel. I will go to Amazon and buy it. So should I do a 50 percent water change? Then scoop out the gravel...

Thank you, for your help. My temp is around 80 degrees. I do plan on buying 3 more red eyed tetra's after my tanks cycle for a few weeks. I would try to take a photo, or video but every time I come toward the tank my cory's swim off. It's hard to take a photo of them. Here is a video of my...

What size is the tank and what's the stocking? Size is 20 high Size of 20 high. Stocking is 8 Glo Tetra's, 5 Blue spotted cory's. 3 red eyed Tatra's.

For the cory's how do I know if my gravel is sharp? I picked it up and rubbed against my hand and it did not scratch my hand. So does this mean my gravel is not sharp. The gravel is fine and slips past my fingers while holding the gravel. I just want to make sure everything is ok for my Cory's...
