SC Fish Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 i have a 5 gallon heated with 3 endler guppys and 2 shrimp (i think male) . but now i have my new 20 gallon which as of right now has just 4 male platys and 7 neon tetras. Im wondering if i can put everything in the 5 gallon into the 20? What could be an issue? is fin rot going to be an issue - biggest thing stopping me moving them fighting between the species?? im not sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even then you wouldn’t see many.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flumpweesel Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 I would move the Ender's and leave the shrimp unless you really just want one tank and don't mind them potentially being food. Depending on hiding spots in the 20 they might be ok. I wouldn't expect trouble but you could always move them back if there is. In my experience fin rot is caused by bad water so keep on top of your changes and things should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
