With no spare tank heater or filter available I need to rehome these fish urgently tonight
in my other tanks/ I am going away for 5 days on Fri and can't set up a new tank or buy filter and heater before I go. Not sure if old tank can be fixed but will haveto be 100% certain it won't leak (test for a few weeks) before I can risk using it again anyway
My options for medium term (few weeks)homes are
1 weatherloach - can he go in indoor unheated goldfish tank. Some of the goldfsh are pretty big 7in but loach is at least their length though much thinner
2. Female guppies can rejoin males, tank will be a little oversyocked but is well filtered
3. Paradise fish -either join loach sharing with goldfish OR go in tropical tank sharing with docile red tail shark, stunted 8in common plec, upsidedown cat 1 angel
4. Corries - Share with guppies but tank has bare glass bottom The only sand substrate tank I have houses adult male BN and 3 kribs just starting to show mating colouration. Both my be agressive about sharing territory with corries. Will corries be OK there?There is a gourami there so not an option for paradise fish, unless I move gourami to common plec tank
 
Any advice? Please help me as I need to move these fish into other tanks tonight
 
If these are your only options you'll have to just go ahead and do it, won't you?
 
Corys will be fine on bare bottom, paradise fish could go in either really, whichever you think will work out best. We can't see the tanks!
