zebra move
Posted: Sat Oct 18, 2008 2:25 am
I have to move my zeb's and was wanting some info to see if I have all the basis covered. I am going to make sure all the parameters are the same, gh, kh, ph, and temperature. I am also going to put all the water from the existing tank into the new one. If i have forgotten anything please let me know.
Should I bag them and acclimate like you do when you first get them? Should I catch them with my hands to avoid damage from the net? How many should i put in a one gallon freezer bag?
Also I have a piece of wood and need to know how to sterilize it. Can I use malachite green and formalin to make sure there is no bacterial infections or parasites? This would be merely a precaution. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I need to move them asap so any advice would be extremely beneficial.
Thanks, Will
