Hello! If you could provide more detail on your new aquarium ( as per the link below), that would be great! Also, if you have an idea of the size of your fish in total inches, then that would also be helpful.

Please read the guidelines for plant help!

Hi,
Is it unfeasible to set the 60g up downstairs? I would imagine the active Rainbows and the SAE would be a bit on the large side for a smaller tank (you could rehome them) but the other inhabitants should be OK.

BRJP1 thank you for your help, I struggle with those instructions.

bazz no I can’t move the large tank but thank you for helping me. I don’t want to rehome if poss,I love my fish and would worry about them, I am in my 80s a silly old man,

Well I live in Lincoln so if there is anything I can do to help i.e. lifting, carrying etc, just give me a shout.
By the way, I've not carried a bucket of water for water changes in 20 or so years, all you need is a pump, a receptacle (e.g. bath) and a hose pipe and I religiously change 130l of water every week.

The offer stands , I’m here for the duration.
Cheers!

Do you have a bath or sink upstairs? If so, what about pumping water from tank down the sink, and then running fresh water from the tap straight into the tank?

Thanks to bazz that is what I will do. Thanks hypnogogic.
