Help! Help! How long can the plants last?

I am rehoming some fish tonight and had to take pretty much every single plant out. I then need to move the cories on Sunday (to ensure all the filters are kept ticking over). How would the plants be floating? As im going to need to keep the tank pretty bare so can catch the cories. The plants needed rescaping and a huge pruning anyways so can do this as I put them back in but worried they could die off within Friday/Saturday...

do you have a spare tank with a light that you can throw them in for now?

Can you put them in fish bags with some water in them and float the bags in the tank? Or keep them all in a bucket until you're sorted?

by **kizno1** on Thu Mar 25, 2010 6:45 pm

i dont think they would do to well in a bag with no circlation.

No spare tanks with any lighting unless one stood in the window with natural lighting counts?
Otherwise they will have to float in my current one.....do you think this would be ok?

do you not have a desk light or anyhtink that could go over it?

What about a plastic storage container near the window... you could put a filter in there to keep circulation?

They are absolutely going to love the sand substrate if the bronze and schultzei are anything to go by. Hopefully be able to see them more Wink

:] corys seem to like sand alot more the only thing is you never have a chance you chose where you wan the sand in my 30g with thte corys and other catfish theres alway random holes apearring everywhere.

by **lilacamy931** on Thu Mar 25, 2010 7:54 pm

Yep! Mine have gone to bare glass on theirs and I have to keep sifting it about when water changing. I absolutely love watching them sift though and diving in!
