Tips on reducing fish stress when moving to larger tank?
Hey guys~
I recently obtained a betta from a roommate who decided she didn't want to care for it anymore, and I'd like to move him from his 1 gallon bowl to a larger tank (maybe around 5-10 gallons). I know it's not really necessary, but I just want to make him happy, you know? ^_^
So, my fish expert friends, what can I do to make sure the stress of switching environments doesn't kill the little guy? Any tips or tricks for me?
To be honest it's really quite simple. Use the gallon of water from his bowl as a starter in the tank and place it with him in the 5 gallon. Then slowly fill the tank the rest of the way with water of the same temperature. By slowly I mean of the course of a few hours. No stress at all that way.
