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

I was worried I'd hurt him with the net. Then I
put some brine shrimp in and suddenly all was wonderful. Now he's
exploring.
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,
