ok.. options:
A) if you have prime or other product to take out the chlorine you can switch over the filters, sand / gravel every thing and put that in the 10 g tomorrow.
B) if you do not have something to take out the chlorine in the water, let it stand for 24 hours with the bubbler and switch everything over (same as A but a longer wait).
If you have a dechlor product (Prime or Safe Start) you can do this tomorrow.
How much does a 30 gallon tank cost in your area? Pet Depot etc...
if you follow me, you avoid stepping in the crap that I just did...
way over a hundred bucks
we had to go out of down just to get this one witch was cheeper then any thing in town
we went to petco for this theres was even over a hundred for a 30 gallion and with the strucheral intagratey of my house right now because its old it wouldnt suport that much wight. any how heres what the pack came with aquatic stress relief specal blend and nite-out 2
that is a sofa TV and 3 people in the same spot If near a wall, it usually is not a problem. Usually the stand spreads that weight out.
But let us know how the change goes
Save that little 5 gallon tank. You will need it for snails later
i have a three gallion for that five gallion belongs to a friend thats well over that you ot to acount for water and gravile tank wight and all that did the math with dad on that one
just change everything over from the 5 to the 10 either tomorrow afternoon (if you have dechlor or the next morning if you don't).
Next project: Where can you put a 30 Gal tank??
You do not have to answer tonight.. it is something to think about. Wall side is best, and walk around the basement with your Dad.. see where the supports are
You will get there.. it is just a matter of time

well thats the thing we dont have a basment we live in a mobil home so no basment
the inside section of an outside wall will be ok. The corners are best
Think about it. Others will reply also. I'll be on again tomorrow night. TTYL!!
well i did think about it and talked it over with dad he said it wouldnt work because of the how old the house is and (not very smartly built i may add my closetes rack is falling down it wasnt mounted on a stud) the floors bords are not very thick eather achualey there realy quit poor when it comes to wood choice but thas the bulders that built it im sure they where fine when the house was newer but years of were and tair just cought up with them

If you want to keep this fish you have to find a way.. get 2x4 under the stand or something...
OR
Find a friend that will take him and you can visit.
Difficult choices.
im working on it im promuseing you that right now im going to bed im dead tired and realy need to sleep couldnt sleep well with the snoring orcastra that is my mom and dad
I know you're trying hard but it really seems like you won't be able to keep this fish. Some people here have given you some excellent options to give this fish a chance at a decent life.
Please take them up on this.
It is absurd to talk of one animal being higher than another. We consider those, when the cerebral structure/intellectual faculties most developed, as highest. A bee doubtless would when the instincts were.
