Fish Fanatic
So I have acquired a 5G very recently to use as a hospital tank for a sick betta I had. Unfortunately the betta passed away before I could even relocate him to the hospital tank. So now I have a fully functional/furnished 5G hospital/quarantine tank. I have a few questions about how to use it though.
1. Are there any fish/invertebrates that can live in a hospital tank. I'd rather it not just sit in my closet waiting for one of my fish to get sick.
2. If the answer to the above question is no, then should I just leave the filter in the hospital tank in my mature 10G which houses all my fish?
3. I have an old filter cartridge from my mature tank sitting at the top of my trashcan. It's been there for a couple days to a week now. Can any bacteria from it be brought back to life (like if they go dormant out of water or something) or it is just basically useless at this point?
Thanks for the answers guys.
