Advice on my project

[Dave]

Ok, Some of you may have already heard me raving on about me wanting to move my 300l tank. Well ive been waiting on a three foot tank that someone was going to borrow me. But he is on holiday and I can't wait any longer.

So I do have a 24x12x18" Tank. Im thinking of putting all my fish in here just untill I move the big tank. But they could be in here for a couple of days, as Im going 2 change the subtrate and add more rocks and things. I am also planning on keeping as much of the water as possible ( So buckets at the ready).

Do you think my fish will be ok in the 2ft er, or should I wait for the 3ft tank?

I have

2 Angels (3 1/2")
2 Pims (3")
1 Upsidedown Cat (2 1/2")
1 Plec (5")
1 Ghost Knife Fish (3")
2 Puffers (1")
2 Guppys

What do you think.

A 2 ft tank will be awfully crowded, but for a couple of days it shouldn't hurt anything IMO.
I would be concerned about the Puffers in with that mix on a permenent basis. They will probably be eaten by Pictus or the Ghost Knife, and that will most likely be the end of whichever one takes a bite (puffers produce a strong neurotoxin that will most likely kill any fish that eats them) and has the potential to kill off the whole tank if one of them gets bit in half and releases poison into the tank ....I don't see the guppies lasting too long either
