U probably all kno me but in case u dont, heres the general stuff. I hav 2 mosquito fish, a pregnant girl named Bubbles, a boy named Bottom Feeder, and a male guppy named Dylan. My mosquito fish live in a 10gal tank w/ a filter, light, a real plant, and fake plants along w/ shells, rocks, etc. and Dylan lives in a 5gal all by himself :sad: w/ a filter, light, fake plants and rocks and other stuff. I also hav a 2gal quarintine tank, 4 sick fish. I just got a FREE (yay!) 10gal tank at a (former, ended) garage sale, just cuz they wanted 2 get rid of stuff they hadnt sold. So, i need to clean the tank out (actually my brothers will clean it, im 12 lol) and then set it up, cuz im gonna use it as my fry tank. The 10gal came with a (working?) filter, but im scared the fry might be sucked up into it!!! So i might move my guppy into the bigger tank and put the fry in the 5gal w/ the non-sucky filter. But heres the thing: my guppy isnt..... NORMAL. Hes sorta... well... 'mentally retarded'. He was poisioned from our current 10gal tank b4 it was cleaned out. I originally had 2 guppies, but unfortanetly, the other one died. So, i think the move from the 5gal tank to the 10gal tank might freak him out. What should i do? Also, how long does your new tank have to 'cycle' b4 u can put fish in it? i got my mosquito fish a month ago 2morrow, so Bubbles is due any day now. And i think i might get more guppies, or fish that r friendly 2 guppies, so he'll B happy if i decide 2 put him in the bigger tank. Please Respond and thanks! -heart :wub: , ally86ozzy
 
If you didnt want to move them all round, why not try and get hold of some java moss? In my tank, if theirs babys about, i put a big blob a java moss in, and it soon covers the inlet grill. So, instead of the fry bieng sucked up, they land on a cusion of java moss. Its not perfect, but it is good.
