Thank you guys. I did move rainbow over on the 2nd. I moved part of the gravel also. I also took more of the old water from the 3.5 gallon tank and I stuck the old 3.5 g filter in the new tank Also. No the filter in 5 gallon tank is much bigger and looks like it’s better quality. I’ve added a...

Thank you for detailed information. This makes sense, when I set up a new tank in the beginning there were no good bacteria and maybe water levels were off as the tank wasn’t cycled so the fish gradually Died. Now I’m transferring fish with their good bacteria so the tank has something to work...

Thank you @mcordelia for the compliment. The fish seems to be doing ok. I don’t see any signs of stress, that is why I’m hesitant to move the fish. I want to get one more Tequila Sunrise guppy that’s why I got a bigger tank. I don’t intend to keep more than 2 maybe 3 total in the new tank, as I...

Hi all I appreciate the info you guys provided. I have a new challenge. I need to transfer Rainbow the Dumbo guppy to 5 gallon tank. I have 4 lbs of new gravel and couple decorations, from old tank. I was able to reuse 1/4 of water from old tank. The fish is still in 3.5 gallon tank. I’m hearing...

The tank is brand new, I want to use all the gravel from old tank lol. How much water should I take from old tank. New tank though same brand have different filters. The old tank is 6 weeks old and need to be replaced anyway. How can I move decor from old tank in new tank while the guppy is in...

Hello All, I was able to get a big tank, a glass one. Not too happy with the craftsmanship’s as glue residue everywhere. Anyhow, my Mosaic Guppy is currently in 3.5 gallon tank and I want to transfer to a 5 gallon tank. How much of the old water can I put in new tank to begin cycling process...

Also it’s been 3 days, tank is running without filter, fish seems to be doing a bit better but the poop maybe warm thing is still sticking out of it. I’ve given it or the fish 2 doses of the meds, now for how long do I keep running the tank without the filter?

I am in similar situation I do t want to take the last sick guppy to the new tank. You have way more experience than I do, I’m sure you will do fine. Best of luck and thanks for the encouragement.

This I food information thank you.

Thank you this helps. Yeah trying to be persistent :) I’ve got a bigger tank coming but that won’t be ready for few weeks as everyone suggests cycling for few weeks. Also the guppy hasn’t been fed for 1-2 days, as a precaution. Do I continue feeding it? I know they can go few days without it...

I have taken it out like all posts and articles suggested to get the meds working.

Yes it’s 19 days old. Im aware this is not the best tank.

I got the meds, hard to find locally. What is carbon? Is it the filter? Take It out and run in? For how long do I keep filter out?

Thank you , weird I didn’t get a notification for this post.
