To catch each fish hold the pitcher underwater and use a small net to gently guide the fish inside. Get the Tank Ready for Travel Moving a fish tank is just as much about moving the structure as it is about moving the fish themselves. Place plants in buckets and fill with water from the tank.

Firmly hold a cover over the top so fish cannot jump out then slowly lower the pitcher into the new tank but do not poor or rotate the pitcher let each fish get its bearings and swim out of the pitcher on its own.

Oscar fish Once your fish are safely in their containers get to work on prepping the rest of the aquarium for your move. The most important thing is to not shock him the best way to move fish from one tank to another is to get a bag. I use the gallon size zip locks and they work great put water from the tank the fish is currently in in the bag and put the fish in the bag. The best idea would be to wait a few weeks until your new tank is completely cycled. Throwing fish especially large dirty fish like oscars into a brand new tank is going to make the tank really dirty really fast- and there s no good bacteria to start to break down the waste. Since the damage has already been done you can . Move the oscars Set the new tank up the day before the move with mostly new water but leave space for water from your small tank .

Get the filter running new filter to help get the tank settled. On the day of the move move fish into a tub or box. You put the fish in a pitcher container and set that below the tank. Then get a piece of air tubing like for a bubble stone and a flow control valve get a siphon going in the tube from the tank just like you would with a gravel vac and use the flow control valve to set how quickly you want the drips to go into the container. This is true gradual acclimation because the new water doesn t When adding new fish to the tank you should keep the fish in the plastic bag but roll the edges down and place it in the tank water to float. This way it was float steady on top of the water and some of the water that is already in the tank will splash over into the bag. The next thing to consider is the ph levels even a small difference such

New tank syndrome is a generic and all-encompasing explanation for loss of fish in an aquarium that is under two months old. There are really a wide number of things that these losses could be more accurately attributed to but the fact that many new fish tank owners encounter these problems has resulted in getting them all lumped together. The oscar is obviously stressed from the move and recovery if it happens will be slow. first make sure temperature and ph are suitable for oscars. Next check toxic nitrogen compounds ammonia and nitrite should always measure zero and nitrate should be below 40 ppm.
