Question About Tank Transfer Method

Is TTM still effective if you do it with 2 fish at once? For example if you want to add two tangs concurrently to try to minimize aggression?

Thanks

Should be fine. Many people do it with multiple fish at once. Ive done it, though have had some struggles. Keep an eye on ammonia levels.

I am doing it now with two fish in 10g tanks. Its more about the aggression/size of fish in relation to area vs the number of fish.

think about it...3 yellow prawn gobies vs 3 mature dwarf angels....completely different.

yes. i've done it myself with 3 anthias in the same TTM tank, and again with a pair of file fish.

works the same because they're all being transferred at the same time to the new tanks, leaving any unwanted nasties behind.
