Storage Box

[Proxo]

Think 7 danio, 5 small cory, 2 platy, 1 ram, 5 cardinal
will be okay in a 45litre plastic storage box w/ filter & heater for a few days?

I've had more than that in a 60litre box for a few days before. It's horribly cramped for them and everyone gets on each other's nerves, but I literally had no alternative at the time, so only do it as a last resort.

Yeah they will be fine havnt you ever gone to a pet store ten gallon tanks with 20 fish yours is bigger than there's

They should be fine. When I put a 3d background in my tank I put all the fish in the same kinda thing as you for 4 days, like the OP said they get on each others nervs but should be fine

They're on a very different set up, most have large central filtration systems flushing through the tanks, not individual internal filters. You wouldn't keep them like it all the time.

Basicually i bought a piece of wood for my tank the other week and lets say it looked alot smaller in the shop lol.
It's gonna be a tight fit into the tank so i'm gonna give it a full make-over while im there too as i was getting kinda bored.

I'll give it ago and if it's too much for the fish i'll get them back into the tank asap.

To be honest I'm planning on doing the same again soon while I redo the decor as well. They'll have filtered water and food - what else can you do, really?
