The TT system is what I use. I only have a 50 gal DT at this time, so only keep small fish. The small fish I transfer between two pails. with one black pvc pipe in each. separate heaters and air hose. This method takes 15 days.
On the eve of a transfer I feed more than normal.
Before bed, I put a heavy black plastic bag over the pail. This prevents light entering in the morning. When I transfer the fish that morning, it usually is still asleep in the pvc after I take the bag off. So I put a net under one side of the pipe and raise it up. The fish usually ends up in the net, and wakes up when he's in the air. He's in the new pail before he knows it and quickly hides in the new pvc
I will use prazipro in the first two pails, 3 days each. And in the last transfer (3 days) before placing in the DT
Walter I really like the idea of the glass tank for observing the fish the last 3 days. I will incorporate this in my next TT
