Filter/Fish Emergency

pisces22 · Mar 25, 2005

The (old) filter in my hospital tank gave out on me a few hours ago and I won't be able to get a new one until tomorrow (saturday, March 26th) morning. I did a routine water change and gravel vac and the parems are (Ammonia: 0 NitrIte: 0 and NitrAtes: 0)Will the 5 month old molly with popeye be okay overnight or should I move her to another ( established)tank???

Thanks

I'd remove the media, place it inside the tank so the bacteria don't die. Do a large water change in the morning and get the filter as soon as possible. When you install the new filter, use the old media (or media from another established filter) and you should be able to avoid an ammonia spike.
