Be kept in an unfiltered tank for a few days?

One of my other fish is sick and I need to separate him, but the only possible tank available has the gourami in it, who attacked him before.

Thanks in advance!

I wouldn't put the gourami in an unfiltered tank. Actually the Pearl gourami shouldn't be kept in a 2g. They get around 4 inches, so a 20g tank would be the minimum I'd keep one in.

How big is the unfiltered tank? If it is big enough you could put the gourami in for only a few days with an airstone. I wouldn't use a small tank though and make sure you use atleast an airstone if it doesn't have a filter.
