DONT USE NETS with Goldfish. use a plastic zip lock or some kind of dish.
watch the ammonia, but if you can move all the media filters over to the

new tank
with the fish the tank should cycle in a couple days. if you move 1/2 the

media
over, it will cycle in 4-5 days. without established biobug colonies it

can take up
to a month if you dont use Biospira. Ingrid

Probably hoping he missed a shrimp. Now to figure out how long it'll be
before moving the other three over.... guess there's no way of knowing

other
than watching the ammonia go up and then down??
Thanks,
