Okay so I did an 80% water change in the 120 gallon lastnight and then filled it back up and added dechlor and all that "fun" stuff.
Then I put the two heaters in there to warm up the water to the temp of the 29 gallon. Then I went to sleep because the heaters took so long to warm it up. Then when I woke up, the temp was just perfect (a little warmer but it was about right) so I went to the 29 gallon with a bucket and a net!
It took me about an hour and a half to net all of the fish out. I didn't bother netting the pregnant molly as I didn't want her to be stressed out. Plus, now that she is alone in the 29 gallon (with the exception of the rubber nose plec and her fry) maybe she will hurry up and give birth.
Seems like she has been pregnant forever!
I couldn't catch the rubber nose plec. He's too smart and too fast. You'd think it would be easy when he is sucking to the glass, just swipe him with the net right? But nooo...not my plec...he is so small he just wriggles through a small space between the net and the glass and gets away.
So I left him in there. I guess it's his loss, not mine. Who wouldn't want to be in a 120 gallon rather than a 29?
Oh yea, the neons were hard to catch as well.
Then while I was adding the other fish, my bumblebee catfish decided to jump out of his bowl and into a cardboard box by the 29 gallon while I was out of the room! He was lucky I saw his clumsy fat self wriggling around in the box.
So all of the fish are in the tank safely. The cories are a little timid, but they are scooting around in the sand like puppies.
The bumblebee catfish went straight for his hiding pot and so did the blue ram. The glass catfish went for the plants in the corner. The neons are tightly shoaling throughout the tank. I was worried about my ram at first because he is breathing kind of heavily and his stress bars are very dark. I hope he gets better soon.
