Tell Me If This Method Is Ok..., Moving fish between two containers daily Options

[Hamad]

Hello guys! After convincing myself that my time and schedule does not permit me to keep Goldfish - I couldn't resist accepting two cute ryukins that my brother got me.

Since I have no set up prepared or anything and my 55gallon tank has no stand/table [it'll take me a long time to get one made], I decided to use my 15 gallon tank and a 10 gallon tub.

I'm planning to move the fish daily between the tank and tub. When they're in the tub I get the other container cleaned and age the water for a day and then repeat the process.

So far I've done this for three days and the fish are in great condition and very healthy/active - but I'd like to know if this is considered healthy and would it have any negative affect on them in the long run? Please let me know.

Thanks a lot guys and merry christmas!!

Dear Hamad merry Christmas

When you deal with small volumes of water,the margin of error with regards to maintaining your water parameters would be greatly reduced.For the operator it is a task easily managed but for the fish it has to adapt to enormous changes every water changes.In the long run the fish may succumb to such drastic changes

Survival does not equate to the need to STRIVE in order to THRIVE.
