Should I add my bettas?

I'll do my best to explain this.
So, for a year I've kept 2 male bettas in separate 2.5 gallon tanks. I did weekly 100% water changes and scrubbed tank, gravel, heater, and decor. Tank did not have a filter. And obviously, due to scrubbing and 100% wcs, it never cycled. I am currently upgrading them to a split 10 gallon that I'm cycling.
Cycle is not finished. I have prime, api master test, and waiting on tetra safestart and diy divider materials (arriving on Wed)
Should i add them add soon as tank has divider?
Thank you all!

 

Well the other tanks aren't cycled anyways. And they really should have at least 5 gallons each. So I would say yes. Otherwise I would say no.

 

hmm, an interesting problem. do you have some test strips at least to test your current water? theres a chance it's more cycled than you think.. do you know how far along the cycle is in your 10 gallon? i would at least wait until you get that prime to put them in. that will help get them through the new cycle.

 

I would wait until their new tank is ready.

Sorry. I wasn't clear. I currently have prime and test kit. Waiting on divider materials and tetra safestart.
It's only been set up for a week. There are 2 sponge filters and a bunch of shrimp pellets in tank right now

 

Since the smaller tanks aren't cycled either I'd probably go ahead and move them.

 

I've been doing daily 50% water changes on the tanks they're in now

 

You say you are waiting on divider material?

I would say no. No divider = dead fish

 

ohh ok, yeah if you have the prime and test kit, you should move them as soon as the tank is ready

 

Oh wait, I missed the part of not having dividers, I wouldn't move them yet then sorry! Maybe move one but not the other until you have the divider.

I wasn't planning on moving them until divider got here. I'm not that stupid

 

Once you get the divider, if the small tanks aren't cycled I would move them. More water= diluted ammonia. It'll be safer and less water changes.

You only specified that the material was coming Wednesday and asked if you could move them now.
