Default Installing background in running tank

Sorry about that ladies. Force of habit. You have to think about it from a
fishes point of view. They will be in the same water as usual & the stress
is not really that bad. Fish are much stronger than many people think. One
thing that will stress them out is if you "KILL" your biological filter by
not running the filter with the fish. That can cause a cycle which can kill
your fish. The heater is not a big deal as long as they are in a heated room
the temp shouldn't fluctuate too much & should stay within safe levels.

Doesn't even have to be another tank. I have used a Rubbermaid container.


Heh - I've got another tank, I haven't got a Rubbermaid container!

It's the hassle of the process and the stress on the fish that makes
me reluctant, not the availability of a reasonable container.
