I do my water changes at around 7:00pm and they last until about 9:00 or 10:00 pm.


...and that affects moving the after by...???...if you have a tank with minute traces of ammonia...why not do it first, before moving fish?...and adding others??

Actually, the tank they are in now has .25 ammonia. All of my other tanks don't have any. So if I were to do the water change now then it would be a bit pointless. I would be doing a water change on a tank that is soon to not have any fish in it at all.
But I am considering moving the medium endlers and the big endlers over there to the other 10 gallon then waiting a bit so the bacteria can catch up and then move the small endlers over next so the tank won't have a mini cycle and hurt the small endlers.
