[GSAS-Member] Time to emerge from quarantine

["A JACOBSON" <amjacobson52@msn.com>]

Well, I've been running my 20 gal quarantine tank now for a few weeks, and I 
think it is time to take my 3.5 inch marbled angel out of it and put it in my 
40 gal tank (I noticed last night the the other occupants of the tank are now 
hiding in corners, afraid to eat).  

So here is my question.  Right now my 40 gal tank is soft & acidic (5d, 6.6ph), 
while my quarantine tank is a little over 7 ph, haven't measured hardness.  Can 
I just transfer the fish directly, or do I need to somehow condition it for the 
transfer?

Also, I've got 3 adult Serpae tetras (which I hate) in the 40 gallon tank.  
I've heard they can be fin nippers, should I just pull them out & put them in 
another tank?  I'm setting up a 10 gallon for a 2nd quarantine tank, they could 
help establish the biological balance there, & I wouldn't cry if they didn't 
make it.
