Oops... I guess it was a mistake then putting the most aggressive fish in first. I was just worried about ammonia going to high in the new tank if I put them all in at once. Also, like I said, the yellow labs are breeding...and I figured putting them in the new tank right away would interfere. Now that I have three tanks I figure why not save some of the fry and try raising them?

I believe alchohal is used in thermometers. Not sure if there is enough in there to kill the fish or not...the stores I've been to use the glass ones, but I've never asked about their durability.

The aquarium is a 29 gallon with a whisper 30 power filter. I added some gravel from the old aquarium hoping to jump start the biological filtration. There are four fish altogether, all about the same size (between two and three inches). The guy at the fish store reccomended putting an aqua clear "biomax" packet behind the filter cartrige to boost biological filtration, even though it already has a device for bacteria to collect on (which is in front of the filter cartrige). Does this make sense?

As for hiding places, I'm going to add more of them from the old tank as I put more of the fish in.
