there would be no benefit to doing that and definitely don't do it. I'd empty the gravel as well

dont i need to keep sopme water in there otherwise i will have to fill it all back up with tap water

As long as you use a water conditioner to de-chlorinate your tap water you will be fine.

Do not transport it with water.

does it stress out the fish?

and thanks by the way fatheadminnow everytime i have a question on here ur always there to answer me

Well your welcome!

If you bag up the fish just like they do at your LFS and transport them, they will yes, be a little stressed, just because you are putting them in a small area for a little while and moving them around. But that is how they get shipped all over the world to fish shops, so it wont be too bad.

But once you get the tank set up, added the water conditioner, brought the tank up to the desired temperature and put the fish in, it will not be long before they will be fine.

When you add the fish to the tank after it has been set up, put the bag with the fish in the tank for about a half an hour so that the water temperature in the bag will match the water temperature in the tank, and after the half an hour is up, slowly add the fish into the water. not really the correct way to acclimate a fish. 1. you have you slowly add water to the bag(about 1/2cup every 5 minutes or so after the temp has adjusted 2. Do not add the water from the bag to the tank as it will contain ammonia heres a guide: acclimation guide This will insure the less stressful transfer of fish between two different water sources of different temperatures.

Hope this helps a little.

Any more questions just ask.
