100% Water Change

[windandfire12]

Today I noticed that my 2.5 gallon is a little dirty. All I have in the tank is a Female Honey Gourami and a Cory. I would like to do a complete 100% water change to get rid of the debris in the tank. The water in the tank is not cloudy, but just this once, I'd like to do a complete water change. Is there a way I can do this without Destroying the Beneficial Bacteria in my Sponge Filter? My Siphon isn't going to get here until hopefully Friday of this week coming up. PLEASE HELP ME!

A 100% water change is abit much, maybe like a 50-70%. You can save bacteria by just not cleaning your filter or rinsing your sponge in some of the dirty dechlorinated water you just removed. You can also suck up debris with a turkey baster. BTW, your cory would like some buddies(2 or 3 more), but unfortunately can't happen right now in that small of tank and the gourami should be in a bigger tank aswell.

please invest in a larger tank and at least 1 more cory
