When moving fishes to a new tank, can I simply re-use all water of the old tank?

Thanks:D. All my doubts are cleared:good:. Thanks for all, especially the last few forum users.

By the way, just a side question: if I am to add nitrifying bacteria to the tank, you guys say they don't live in water, where should I add them to? Directly to the filter media, the filter pad, or where?
You can add the directly to the water. Most will go through and perhaps settle on the filter, but some will likely settle on the glass, substrate and any decor. :)

Once they're all set up and you're doing water changes and water tests, as long as the tests are showing 0/0 for ammonia and nitrites, then you won't need to worry about adding any more bacteria.
