Hi....
I am going to be moving a 20 gallon tank out of my mom's house and into my house which is about an hour away or so. Right now here, there is a few feet of snow and it's very cold out. In the aquarium right now are 2 cory's, 1 moonlight gourami and 2 platy's. Fake plants.
What is the safest way to move these guys, to keep them warm...and then to be able to put them back into the tank asap. Will it have to cycle again if I bring along the water that is in it now? I am in the middle of cycling a 10 gallon....I guess I could put them in there temporarily until I get the 20 set back up. Thing is, I don't want to harm them in any way....and putting them in a not completely cycled tank doesn't sit well with me!
Ideas?
