Adding Old Fish To New Tank

[Jacko-Ainze]

Well I have had a small tank for a long time and most of the fish have died off, besides two zebra danios, then I got a large 110cm tank that it working very well and I think it is a waste having only two fish in my small tank and would like to sell it so can I put my old danios in my new tank?

Hi
What fish are in the other tank? Also is the newer tank cycled?

 

[Jacko-Ainze]

yeah the new tank has been up and running for about 18 months and has a collection of corys, guppies, neon tetras, clown loachs, and torpedo barbs.

if the new tank is has been running for a while and is fully cycled i don't see why you won't be able to add 2 zebra danios. just make sure there is nothing in the other tank that will eat them

from that list it sounds like they should be fine. but that tank sounds a bit small for clown loaches.

yeah bout the loachs I got them because I had a snail infestation and am planing on selling them back when they get to big but they haven't grown for a while now.

When in a tank to small the fish will get stunted growth. SAdly it means their organs etc still grow and not outside but it means it shortens their life. They need a good size tank at least 6ft long so you would be best to move them

Yes the danios should be fine, much better than the tank they are in I expect

Yeah If anything starts to concern me about the loaches I will probs put it in a forum and sell them back.
Thanks for all the comments guys I'm in the process of moving them now.
