I am moving Fred the lone ecosphere survivor to a small aquarium tonight. He is currently in a large glass jar. I plane to move all his "furniture" first and have everything set up in the new space. I will test salinity and temperature in both. If all is well I was going to gently pour him into the new space. I worry this will shock him? I also understand from this forum that trying things slowly may not be good as then I am messing with him longer. Any advise? I am used to reptiles and larger fish. This little guy has super stressed me out I just love the little guy and fear not doing things correctly.
Dont worry they arent so easily shocked. They are shipped across the world in bags which are tossed and turned by the delivery service like any other parcel and still arrive fine at the destination. Just for comparison. A little water sloshing isnt going to hurt.
