Moving Power Filter To New Tank

[Mike_Syr]

My neighbor wants to buy a 15G tank I have. I am running a 20G with a Whisper EX30 and a AquaClear 20. I am changing to a 55G that I bought used. I was thinking if I run the Whisper on my tank until they get the 15G setup I could give them the Whisper.

My question is:

Would they be able to get fish right away since the Whisper will have all the bacteria they should need?

I will make sure not to let all the water out of the power filter.

Yes they should be able to do this but make sure the stocking is proportionate to what you had in your tank. Theirs will have 5G less than yours did and you were also running 2 filters and not one.
