How I can setup temporary holding tank for 3 small fishes?

I don't believe this is possible but still like to pick your brain on this one.

 

I had to shutdown the display tank due to a major crash, all the rocks, sand have been removed then followed with 100% water change. So I technically I don't have bio filtration system but I still have two clownfish and one six line wrasse in the tank. I will be setting up this tank again soon but I will still try to clean the system as thoroughly as possible before I feel comfortable to go back.

 

My question is, Is it possible to support my three little fishes for 45 days so I could cycle the tank or I better to give them away?

 

Thanks.

Yes. Just do regular water changes. Three fish won't foul up a tank that quickly. Actually what size tank is it?

 

Anyways it is entirely possible mate, dun worry.

See if your LFS can hold them for you. Also I have had success with instant ocean bio-spira restoring my biofilter in under 48hrs after I accidentally got chlorine in my tank.

That's great to know. I have a 5 gallon tank with HOB filter I could setup easily, water change won't be an issue, something I've been doing in last 3 years. :D

Thanks for the tips, I will look into that product.

Think about it like you're quarantining fish... for 45 days. :D 5 gallons will require quite a bit of water change though. Make sure to feed only moderately.

For sure, would you suggest to do 100% or 50% water change?

 

Thanks
