I have a 30 gallon that just started to leak. In that tank I had a Texas Chiclid (small) and a Convict (small)I didnt know what to do cause the water was dripping out so fast so i transfered my chiclids into a large zip lock bag. The only thing i could think of was to put my chilclids in a 20 gallon tank i have with 2 small goldfish. But be4 i put them in there i seperated them with a seperater and also inserted my 30 gallon tank heater in the tank. please help dont want my chiclids 2 die.

Your cichlids should be fine, Sir Eds, provided that the 20 gallon's parameters weren't too far off from what was going on in your 30 gallon.. Sometimes you don't really have a lot of choices and you've got to do what you can..

If you happen to have a spare bucket that you can fill with their tank water, they'd be fine in there (with their heater fully submerged) for a day or so.. At least long enough to get out and get a new tank..

Good Luck with it..
