Re: [GSAS-Member] Albino in a bucket

Safer to just put the fish in a bucket. No plants, no nothing. It should be 
fine. Who knows what's in the 'sparse' breeding tank (one wonders why it's 
sparse...) 

And starve the fish for a day or two so it doesn't poop. If you're really 
concerned, put in a chunk of polyfilter to absorb any ammonia.

Collecting in Mexico with containers crammed with goodeids, all we did was keep 
polyfilter with them and do an occasional water change with whatever was 
convenient. We used buckets of various sizes. Fortunately it was November and 
the weather was on the cool side. You'd be surprised how much 'gruft' comes out 
of the water with a little polyfilter in it. When we collected a location of 
Allotecas, the water was *opaque*, loaded with suspended clay (the area was 
awful - runoff from a road, snakes and the occasional scorpion in sight.) By 
the next day, the water was clear and the fish were fine.
