Hello. I just transferred six fancy guppies from my well established 10 gallon to a new 20 gallon long. I used the gravel, the rocks and hornwort from the previous tank. I have both the old and new biowheel filters hanging on the back of the new 20 gallon. I waited until the water was at the same temp as the 10gallon and the pH. I scooped the 6 guppies with a plastic container and submerged it in the new.
it is night. The guppies seem to be really stressed and distressed. They are darting up and down the ends of the tank at the corners almost frantically. I covered the back and side walls with a towel as I think they were looking at their reflections. They have twice as much space now with a 30 inch long tank. I am worried about them killing themselves from stress. Any ideas?
Thank you very much for your thoughts. Oh and the water parameters have not changed one iota. negative for ammonia and nitrites.
