Transfer crocea to a new tank.

[tskinner]

Hello. I currently have two tanks set up and plan on moving my crocea to my other tank because of the stronger lighting. Whats the easiest way to do this. I've heard you can't remove them from the water and if so you have to burp them. Is it alright to just place it in a bag in one tank, move it to the other, acclimate it, and then place it in the tank with exposing it to any air. Thanks for any info. I guess its the same concept as when I moved it from my LFS to the current tank.

i really wouldn't worry about them being out of water a short amount of time...pretty sure in the wild they are exposed when the water level drops...in fact i've seen a bunch of pictures of crocea's like that...i've heard of burping them too, i think that may be just a myth but i suppose it wouldn't hurt or if you were to tilt them at an angle so the air bubbles escaped that would probably do the same thing. as far as acclimating your way would probably work as well
