As I recently discovered that my tank is grossly overcrowded I have decided to get a new tank. MY question is what is the best way for me to set up the tank and get the fish into it? Do I need to do a fishless cycle or can I use the existing water and add to it? I don't know very much about keeping aquariums, though I have learned a lot in the past few days from this site, and I think it has been pure luck that my fish have survived this long. I would like to keep them alive as I have become quite attached to them.
Another question is this. Currently my fish are in a 10g. I've been advised that I need at least a 55g to house tham all without overcrowding. If I were to get another tank and split them, what would be the best way to split them and what would be the minumum size tank i would need to get in addition to the current 10g one?
Any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
