The transfer is prety straight forward,, just net him and put him quickley into the the new tank,, BUT is your new tank ready? is the tank cycled? You said a new 90 gal tank. even if you use media and filters from the old tank it is not an imeadeatly cycled tank.. Check your test readings. Is the temp close to the same as the tank he is comming out of.. If so just move him.. You could net him, or move him into a container, then dump the container into the new tank..

here is one last vid of him chasing feeder lol hard to see. that was a 20g tank that i started with then went to 60g i have now, and when i put him in 60 he got stressed out. That he hid for while, but ok now back to his old self. i can hand feed him again lol the 20 i still have for my feeders and bristle nose pleco, til he gets bigger. then i put him into the 90g with oscar i hope they be ok together. when had them too together oscar would go after him but he was too far for osacr and hid where oscar couldnt get at him. reason in orginal post post is cause now doing a 3 third tank. the 90 gallon be his final home i just dont wanna stress him out.

here him chasing feeders lol

Hallo and welcome!
Nice instruction video the boss provided you with.

be carefull with small plecos and Oscars.
Oscars may try to eat the pleco which will result in a stuck pleco!




and we wouldn't want that.
