Hi all! New to this forum. I’ve had several freshwater tanks before, but this is the first time I’ve bought a tank that was already set up and running. I’m buying a 55 gallon freshwater tank from a friend that he has had running for many years without any loss of fish life. What I’m wondering is, what’s the best way to transport his fish from his house to mine? Also, we don’t live too far apart, but obviously our water parameters will be different. Is there a way that I should refill the tank when it gets to my house that will cause as little stress on them as possible?

I’m wanting to add plants to his setup and decorate it more to my liking than how he has it. I’ll be changing some of his decor and changing the filters to a canister filter to keep the water cleaner. Any help/suggestions are welcome! TIA!
