Ph difference in new tank.?

I have two Blood parrots in a 20 gallon tank, The 20 gallon tank has a ph of 6.2.

4 weeks ago i bought a new 38 gallon tank for the blood parrots.

I havent yet moved the blood parrots to the new tank because i wanted to wait until it went through its nitrogen cycle first.

I just tested the water in the new tank in which showed ammonia at 0, nitrite at 0 and nitrates at 5, Therefore i assume the tank is now cycled.

The only thing that concerns me about moving the blood parrots is that the new tank has a ph of 7.2.

How dangerous will it be for the fish to go from a sudden ph change of 6.2 to 7.2?



Any advice?Ph difference in new tank.?
That is large pH difference and can kill you fish from pH shock if not properly acclimated.



With such a large pH difference, I would suggest using the drip method to acclimate your fish. Put him a bucket of water from the old tank. The using a air hose, suck in the water. Then using the valve, adjust till such that it water is now dripping on drop every 10 or 20 second. When the bucket in full throw half of it away and repeat the process. After about 30 minutes you can put the fish in the new tank.
