    2gal guppy tank?

    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.

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

    freeze them when they belly up

    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...
