Hi all.

Just after some advice as I'm still only really thinking about doing this.

How easy is it to change from a tropical tank to coldwater? I've got a 220L tank, with a Tetra EX700 filter and 300W heater which has been established for 5-6 years now. My current stock is:

4 x 2" Leopard Danio

6 x 1" Serpae Tetra

1 x 2" Snowball Pleco

4 x 1" Red Ocellated Barbs

2 x 2" Clown Loach

1 x 3" Snakeskin Gourami

1 x 2" Gold Gourami

After seeing some beautiful coldwater fish that have some really nice colouring I fancy a change, but just how 'easy' is it to do?

Are they a LOT more messy than tropical? Are there specific requirements for coldwater?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
