I am moving my 2 male guppies into my 29 gallon tank. How do I move them from one tank to another without stressing them a lot? :help:
 
Easiest way is to just pretend you just bought the fish and slowly acclimate them to the water. Since the water in the two tanks is probably fairly close in quality, it shouldn't stress them out much.

Same way you do with a new fish from the petstore. Get a container for them with some "old tank" water. keep them in low light. start putting a little "new tank" water in a little at a time (you can use an airline tube to set up a drip, or just use a cup and add a little over time).
