In a clean buckets with an air stone or another tank...... they will be find.. maybe add some stress coat. Save the old tank water at least the the first two and gravel vac. This will give you a head start on your bio-bac. Don't clean you filter if your using a HOB. If you start fresh clean tank you will have to cycle the tank before adding the fish..... if it going to take to long time best to find houseing for them. if you have to keep them in bucket you can use box filter with air pumps.

Keep all fish in the tank water and if they are in there for a long time you will need to check the WQ every few hours. because unless you have box filters running and waiting than the buckets need to cycle.....


Just do it quickly.......

good idea with the stress coat,.... i use it anytime i move a fish or have it in a bag or bucket for any amount of time but..... do not overdose, read the directions on the bottle
