Tropical Fish Tank water
Hello
I am moving my fish tank and am setting up a smaller tank to house my fish whilst I do so. Can I just transfer my existing water to the smaller tank and transfer the fish straight away or do I have to leave to stand for a few days. Also I am setting up with sand. Any idea how deep this should be please.
Thanks in advance.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Ask at your local fish shop about a transport box. You'll probably get a load of bags, which you can transport the fish in. The bags go in the box, well packed in. It's polystyrene so the fish are well protected for the trip.
I'd use the same water. Less danger of the fish going into shock, (mind they are probably more hardy than you'd think). If you can get some sort of hose then you should be able to siphon the water from one tank to the other, or into a bucket first.
