Hi All,
So I setup my tank at the start of this year, with no knowledge of keeping plants in an aquarium. For this reason I have basic gravel. I wanted to do a re-scape and was thinking at the same time I would change the gravel to a soil - most likely tropica aquarium soil. I wanted to know if this soil would be okay to put into my tank, whilst some of the water is still in there? as I have read that changing the gravel/soil and keeping the fish in the tank is less stressful than moving them into a bucket/secondary tank. This would also be easier for me as I don't have a second tank or space for one even temporarily really. My worry is that the soil will not sink properly.
Any help is appreciated, cheers, H.
