So, as some of you know, I recently got a monster of a tank (125 gallons). I also have a fairly small apartment. I have, tentatively, decided where the 125 will go. But I have to move 7 of my other 12 tanks.
I know how to do this somewhat safely with my fish move fish to temporary housing, empty water and heavy decorations and get on with the moving.
For my shrimp tanks I am much more hesitant. Will it harm my shrimplets to be sucked up by the syphon? That is the only way I can think of to actually catch them.
I am also going to change the substrate in my 15 column tank. How do I make sure I get all the little guys out of the gravel before switching it to the sand? Just use the syphon and the usual net for the ones large enough?
Advice would be greatly appreciated.
