Gymnogeophagus Movement

Hey, I am moving my Gymmies from a 45 Breeder to a 55 standard (I find the extra height does wonders for the Valentines) and I am wondering, I have been working this tank for weeks, have it ready to go, cycle is being done with my Livebearers (WC Mont Swords) and the temp from the Gymmie tank was 70 yesterday, 71 this AM (no heater, home heat is off) and the new tank is at 67.3.... (I threw my Snails in there as well, hooked on right off!)

Dude, you just moved yours to the pond, is this too much of a jump for my Valentines, Paso Pache, and Male Balzanii? (Not to mention my Cold water corys, and my Dojo loach)

Anyone??

Oh BTW, just scored 4, 2" lil Australoheros red ceibal (From Jeff) to mix in.....

Thanks Folks!

They did Great!

But found my missing female Sword! All dried up and shat behind the old tank! The 45 is now down! 55 is looking flipping primo!

Cant wait to add my 4x-Australoheros red ceibal to finish off the tank! (Oh and maybe another female Sword or 3)
