hello to everybody,
I need your help: I have to move my 200 gal tank, so I need to to put my PB in a small tank ( 80 gal ) for 2/3 days.
They are 3 guyana about 12/14 inch and one orino of 10.
What do you think about?
Is it sustainable?
The second way could be to use a plastic children pool of 200 gal in the garden,but the temperature now is from 60 to 75 ( I have to use the heater ) and I have to put a net over the pool to avoid jumping outside.
I have to move the 200 gal tank becouse is coming the new 600 gal glass, I hope to start for the end of september, I will give you some pics.
thank you
Roberto

80gal sounds a lot more safe, just keep aeration in the tank at max.

Thank you Linux, I will go in this way and this allows me to do when I want to, because the temperatures are dropping.
Do you think it is better to make the tank dark,without light?

Another option would be a Rubbermade stock tank. I think a 80 would stress them even for a couple of days, for half a day it might work. Those are way too nice of ocell to loose.
 
The 80 gallon should be fine for a few days if you ask me.
 
Thank you guys.
Yes, I'm looking for a rubbermaid ( plastic ) tank, but till now I didn't find so large ( 100/120 gal ), and the 80 gal is inside then I don't have to worry about the temperature.
All your suggestions can help me.
