My 65 growout started to leak real bad Yesterday. I have a 3 orino and a kel i just got from rapps a month ago in there. I didnt have another tank to put them in so i borrowed my neighbors 30 and transfer my fish, filter n heater on there until my new 65 comes tomorrow.

The real bad news of this is now my kel has white fuzz on him, cloudy eyes, and is swimming slowly at the top of the tank. Doesnt look he will make it through the night. not sure how this happened? The tank i borrowed was empty in my neighbors garage for about 6 months. Only med i have now is paraguard think i should give it a shot?
 
You should buy a backup tank from Petco. They still have their $1 a gallon sale until Jan. 19 I think. $55 for a brand new 55 g tank can't be beat. So if you ever have problems or need a hospital tank, you've got a good cheap one available.
 
Well my ipantanga kelberi died this morning, my rio jari, rio apure, n rio meta orinos seem to be recovering. Got the new 65 set up but going to wait until they get all cleared up before transfering them.
 
Well the others seem to have pulled through. Got em in the new 65 and all seems back to normal. Final tally on lost fish was my kelberi and my raphael cat. Hated losing that kel, most expensive fish i have bought but he was in bad shape from day 1.
