Posted	moving fish
30-06-2007 14:25 by thomas	I have always found this site helpfull and once again I would request some advice. I am shortly moving home, and have a new tank there.I have a few Oscars a couple of Uaru a Acara and one Pleco. I know cycling the tank is v.important but what worries me is the introduction proces of the fish. They have been living happy enough together and I am worried they may fight in their ne tank and plus the new addition is still quite small and took alot of effort to keep him safe. Can anyone suggest the best cause of action to take when introducing the fish.
