When to move baby into the biggirl viv?

[cira204]

I have a 6 week old baby BD girl. She's probably about 7.2 inches long and is staying in a tank thats about 15 GL.
I was wondering when it will be okay to put her into the 40 GL breeder?
I dont want to overwhelm her with a bigger tank, but she's a pretty big girl (compared to the ones I see at Pet Stores)

There is alot of debate about this question. Some people think babies arent easily overwhelmed, others think they are.
Id say it entirely depends on your little girl and how she's adapting.
If she's already in a good eating and pooping routine then I would say you could move her from any time onwards.
If she's taken a little longer to settle in and is still showin stressmarks Id leave her be for a while.

some people say a bigger viv is better because the bd can roam around more but its personal choice as long as the viv isn't too small for her you can move her whenever you feel as long as she is settled and it won't cause her to act up

My 4 month old baby went straight into her 40 gallon tank as soon as I got her. She was a little stressed for about a week, but now she loves it and uses all of the space to climb and relax I think no matter when you introduce the baby to the new tank, she'll take some time to get used to it.
