The blood parrot has been takin out and he is in a ten gallon tank now. I will fix the problem tomorrow with the BW. What is the best way to acclimate them to a high end BW. I don't want to make it a SW tank thou..

Is there a cycled filter on the 10g? What I'd do for now, is put the 3 GSPs in the 55g, with the filter from the 37g & the parrot into the 30g.

Yes I took the filter off the 30 gallon and put it on the 10 gallon. Then I did put 2 of the GSP's in the 55 and left the other GSP in the 37. So with the marine salt like you were saying you should put 3 cups to every 5 gal. I think I'm going to do what you said and put all 3 GSP's in the 55 and put the blood parrot in the 37 and then work from there. Thank you for all the help it makes it easier to hear from someone then try to filter through all the info on the web.

Thank you thank you!!!

No, you must raise the salinity s-l-o-w-l-y! Get a hydrometer & raise it no more than .002/week. The amount of salt I recommended is what you will be using to attain an eventual SG of ~1.015.

Yes I have read that. That was my plan to raise it slowly. Thank you for being so concerned. That what I was saying last post about slowly raising the SG. So should I have a certain pleco for this BW?

There are no BW plecos, you have to do your own maid service--sorry.
