Please HELP?

Question

My fish.... please help.?
I have pearl scales, black moores and a few gold fish, and i usually house them in a 6 foot tank.
i have recently moved house and had to transport my fish in a 70 litre storage container.
I have the filter and air stones hooked up to the storage container... but today i noticed my pearlscales have red blood spots on their body.
I did a PH test and it was a little alkaline, so i neutralised it.
Will my fish be ok and the blood spots go away soon?
Any suggestions on how I can keep my fish healthy while they have to live in this container (it may be a while) would be helpful

Thanks

I would transfer your fish into a larger container asap. Goldfish are very dirty fish, and I would allow 10 gal (37.85 litre) of water PER fish. You don't say how many fish you have or how big they are, but if you need to keep them in this smaller container, you need to get more containers. If they are smaller fish, you can probably keep them in there for a little bit, but you have to be super diligent about keeping that water clean.

The red spots are from poor water conditions and/or poor water filtration. If you want to keep your fish healthy, change the water often, and/or get more filtration. It's better to be over filtrated then under. Once you get that under control, the red spots should go away.
