Thanks for the advice! I'll be sure to do that :)

I'll be getting a test kit this weekend hopefully! I'll be getting filters and heaters for the tanks as well. Two of the fish I'm only keeping until Christmas, so I think they should be okay with a smaller tank for now. Should I put the air pump in the 5 gallon? I'm still not sure on whether or...

I do have ONE air pump, however I'm not entirely sure how to use it. I also don't want to stress the fish in the 5 gallon out, I only just switched him over.

I have the money, it just sucks that I have to use it when he's the one who bought the damn fish. And I'm gonna be keeping four. So, that's basically my entire bank account lmao

I have dechlorinator! All of the water I put into the tank was treated with it. I'm reading up on fish in cycling. It'll be stressful for the little guys but I'm hoping they'll pull through.

I have the heat on 20-25. Yes, I am getting heaters. Most of these setups are temporary until I can come back Tuesday with everything I need. I'm more worried on how to cycle a tank, because I've read up on it but can't understand it for the life of me.

The room they are in is being kept as heated as possible. My brother will be keeping up on the water changes until Tuesday, when I will be returning with the filters and heaters. I really hope they can pull through until then. I'll stop treating the water with anything else other than dechlorinator.

I totally would like to! He needs a reality check LMAO

Two of them will be rehomed come Christmas time, because they're going to my dad's girlfriend's kids. That's the whole reason he got them. I'll be keeping two of them, if they all make it. But regardless if I could I wouldn't let them take the fish, they're 10 year olds and have no idea how to...

I want to mention that my dad absolutely refuses to buy anything for these fish. This is bordering on animal neglect and I am beyond livid. Even if these fish survive, they will not be happy and they will suffer and be more susceptible to illness. I have no idea what to do, I am beyond stressed...

Thank you! I will get that. I'm writing a list of everything I need for them.

My father has always been a stubborn guy. He quite literally yelled at me for getting the 5 gallon, talking about how it's a waste of money and a little fish like that doesn't need it. I swear, I have never met another person as ignorant as him. I'll be trying my best to get them the proper tank...

I'll be getting one as soon as I can!

I'm going to be cutting my trip short, just because I can't bare to leave them like that for that long without the necessary supplies. So I'd be gone for five days. I can get my brother to do partial water changes while I'm gone, at least.

He refuses! I think I forgot to mention how much of a stubborn idiot my father is. He absolutely does not take me seriously when I tell him this is a really bad situation, and borders on neglect. I'll be cutting my trip short to get everything I can for them. I'm serious when I tell you he just...
