If I put feeders in a Home Depot bucket with an air stone, how long do you think they will last in there as a Med tank with Meth-Blue?

Lets say almost filled to the top of water (5gl bucket) and about 4-5Dz of 2" Comets

No heater, filter etc.... just an air stone

Thanks

Ha just did this yesterday with two sick goldfish feeders for cycling and they died in 30 mins. Maybe they were too far gone though.

Will you be doing water changes or adding Amquel?
I will be doing water changes... maybe 2 times a week of 50-75%ish

Not familiar with Amquel, what is it?

I was hoping to quarentine them for 2 weeks at a time then dump them in for deserts

I've kept feeder goldfish in a 5 gallon bucket for weeks with an airstone, but that included doing a water change every day. Nice cold water from the faucet and they did well until they were eaten.

Your should be good Bigg Dogg. Just bring wood on the water changes. (often)


Make sure you take a video of the feeding.
