Setting Up New Tank Questions.

[Jjsmith46]

Im setting up my new rio 350 litre going to fill with water tomoro,ive got a lot of cyclcled media from my old filter which i will transfer so can i put my clown loaches in after a week of tank running!

If you have old media you should transfer your fish immediately, otherwise the bacteria in the media will starve because of a lack of food. It is a nice big tank, what else are you planning in putting in there?

Just my clown loach about 9 of them biggest one is about 3 - 4 inch long.

Oh, they're going to love it in there!
Nice to see some clown loach getting the care they deserve too

Biulu is right; you should swap the fish at the same time as the filter media. I always think of the filter being paired with the fish, rather than the tank

So new substrate and stuff wont bother them as long as i transfer my media at the same time,or put media in a day or so before the clowns??,im gona let the new tank sit for a week first though

New anything won't bother them as long as the filter media goes with them
