I'm getting guppies today for my new baby snake, but the new place I found (only place that carries them) is 20 minutes away. So I'd like to be able to put some guppies in my old 2gal aquarium.
But it doesn't have a filter. And I'm NOT buying one.
Is there any way to maintain the fish for 2 or 3 days?? It would only be 2 or 3 fish... I know it's kinda hopeless..

Not really, It will work.

Just change 50% of the water out every other day and keep them fed & aerated.

They should do just fine for a few days.

Almost sounds like we care for their health:D

Thanks, glad to know. That will make feed this little guy a LOT easier.

freeze them when they belly up:cool:

Oh by the way our local petco has a stay alive guarantee on fish, and crazy as it sounds, when I buy 200 at once, I go back in about a week with roughly 40 deceased ones, they always replace them with more live fish.;)

I'll freeze 'em.

You mean the feeder guppies? Our petco does the same thing, but they don;t have guppies... so it's useless to me...
