Need Help

[DJ ArKaDaRkA]

i got a new 40 gal tank at the weekend and just swapped my external filter over, stupidly my missus went out today and bought a angle as a supprise for me but she didnt realise the tigerbarbs would keep nipping it

she also didnt let the bag sit in the tank she just dropped the fish in

so now ive had to put my tigerbarbs in my old 70L with no filter ive ordered one on ebay about 5 minutes about but will take 2 days to come

as long as the water stats stay at 0 will it be ok for 2 days?

its got a heater and ive got a old airpump i could use but no lights



HELP

Could you just take the Angel back until you have a suitable home for him?

-FHM

its about 10 miles away and shut now

would a DIY sponge filter work for a couple of days?

Plus... and I suppose this is obvious... you just switch into "fish-in cycling" mode when you have situations like this. Just start testing for ammonia and nitrite(NO2) twice a day and doing large water changes and adjust your water change percentage and frequency such that the toxins don't rise above 0.25ppm before you can change water again.
