Answer 2

Personally,i think it'll be fine for that short period.
One of my old goldfish tanks broke last year (my young nephew knocked it over and it got a crack in it) and i kept my 2 small goldfish in jam jars until i was able to get to the pet shop and buy a new tank!

As someone else stated,because it's small,it'll get dirty/cloudy quicker,so just keep an eye on it and make sure the water stays fresh for the next few days.

Answer 3

Should be fine, but watch the fish. If it starts to just lay around, get clamped fins, or otherwise act abnormal, that is a sign of stress. To alleviate, do a partial water change - 20-30%, is all. Make sure you treat (i.e., dechlorinate) the water you put back in, and your fishy should be fine.

Hope this helps.

Answer 4

Yes, it will be fine for that long, but be careful and watch it's behavior. If the fish starts to sink to the bottom or not move much, then you should give it some split up sweet peas, and that should help it.

Answer 5

Only if you have a bubbler going to keep the co2 out and the water moving.

Answer 6

no problem. just don't over feed it and cloud up the water too fast. and when you get it home, make sure your tank is not heated. the heat will kill goldfish.

Answer 7

ya it will be good
