I'm looking to get advice on the following scenario:
I have a heavily planted 20 gallon that my own dim-wittery allowed to be completed infested with bladder snails. The tank currently has 14 Neon tetras, 3 Amano's, a plethora of cherry shrimp, 3 Otto's and a couple of Ghost Shrimp.
I have a 29 gallon that's cycled (with very close parameters), new planted (relatively speaking, still have some growing to do) that I want to transition the 20 gallon livestock around to.
Do i get a rubber maid tote (medium-ish sized, filled as needed with conditioned water) and remove the plants from the 20 gallon to then remove the water to a low point to catch out the live stock? If so, what is the best methodology for a container to transition (I realize catching out the tetras and Otto's will be not a great time)? Do I "re-catch" of that container to place into the 29 gallon?
Appreciate any info.
