Hello,

After a long fight with dinos (ostreo & lca), I have decided to take down one of my tanks. My concern now is that I would like to transfer my fish & snails (conches & nassarius) to an established 3.5 year old tank I have. I have turned the lights off for a few days now to minimize the presence of the dinos and am hoping the diverse micro diversity is enough to prevent any spread. Wanted to get any feedback/input from individuals here before I proceed any further. Thanks in advance

I'm no expert here, but I personally would QT your livestock for a few weeks, then put them into your established tank. I just took down my tank, too, due to dinos (except I surrendered my livestock as the only other tank I have is a 30oz pico)
