Default holding tank



I'm going to need something as a holding tank for my fish probably for 4
days while I complete their home.
I was wondering if I could use this kids swimming pool.
The Koi aren't real big yet. Just a couple yrs old.

Hi Priss - a "kids" swimming pool will work as long as you cover it with a
screen, or mesh to keep them from jumping out and aerate it to keep O2
levels up - also keep it in the shade

Oh good. I have heard where pool liners are toxic to fish.

Just a reminder, Priss ... use your pond water in the kids pool.
I cleaned out my pond 3 years ago ... and this is what I used.
With an air stone, etc. and net over it it worked just fine.
