Default Darn luck, new aquarium but all old fish are sick !

the aquarium can wait a day or two, its not absolutely have to be
today... I will move them to a glass jar in a day or so because my
nephew's wants the aquarium so im gonna fix it up for them... the real
question is when can i transport the ones i want to keep to the new
aquarium ? (the others goes to the newphews) without risking
contamination ?

im more or less newbie, so maybe its trivial, but im not sure whats the
right answer...

thanks alot
Lior

Hi,

i just spent all my money on a brand new juwel 96l aquarium ! yay,

its been circulating for 2 days, and i was planning on transporting
2 or 3 fish's tomorow , and the rest in a few days...

but noooooooooo! they suddenly got fin rott (is that how its

called?) ! i've hightened then temp to 30C , added metilan blue,
and later an anti fin rot liquid called backtopur by sera to handle
the fin problem.
the treatment is supposedly 3 days. now here's the catch,
the older aquarium is leaking and i need to move the fish's ... how
soon can i put the fish in the new aqua without risking

contamination ?
is it safe to move fish that were in the aqua while treatment and

still havnt shown any signs of fin rot?

HELP SAVE THE FISHIES !

thanks, Lior.



why not pick up a cheap 30 litre wine brewing drum for a tenner and
put the fish in that to finish off their treatment - since its wine
brewing you don't need to worry about the plastic giving off nasty
stuff and it make a good size container for a weekly water change,
