Angelfish in a bucket???

[Matt Iglesias]

Hey guys, I'm new to this website and I had a question on transporting fish.

I recently bought an 85 gallon tall aquarium to replace my 50 gallon tall for my Angelfish.

The 50 gallon tank got sold and i need to tear it down and I need to put the angelfish and the other fish in a bucket.

How long can they survive in a 5 gallon bucket with their water and their filter (I use a wet/dry filter but i have a backup HOB filter)???

Thanks in advance.

FYI, the 85 gallon is fully cycled and ready to go!

With proper water quality in the bucket, probably forever.

I used plastic storage totes for temporary housing. HOB filters and the likes hang right on the side.

They can be there quite a while - just make sure they don't get too cold.
