ttm 2 fish

Is it possible to use tank transfer method on two new fish at the same time in the same tanks? Not sure if this is safe or not. I am kind of thinking not but curious if others have done this successfully.

Thanks Eric

Yes you can TTM more than 1 fish at a time. Be sure you add them at the same time and move them at the same time. The more fish the more ammonia so keep an (*.*) on it. Unless they are fighters you should be fine. If they are fighting i would think about trading the bully in to avoid problems down the road.

Awesome thanks

Agreed. More than one is fine. I've done 4 at a time.

As long as you don't go longer than about 72 hrs between transfers, any ich that has fallen off the fish won't get a chance to reattach again.

Just did two small clowns in 5 gallon buckets a couple months ago. Doing great in QT now.

Just adjust your tank/bucket size as needed if your doing larger or more fish, and be aware as others have mentioned of different species that won't get along together in tiny spaces.

Thanks everyone. Ended up only getting one fish for now but this is great info for the future.
