|  rescuing some fish well..a bunch of mummichogs were going to be put down for no reason at all..other than they were not needed in a lab...so I decided to save them all...no sense in having them killed they are hardy fish...ranging from full marine to freshwater..commonly found in estuaries.. right now they are in brackish water.. Im going to get an outdoor kiddie pool...the biggest one I can get and set it up for them outside..rough last min planning...but I didnt expect it either..they were all originally going to be dissected and have their organs removed and have of them were used..but the remainder were saved by me any suggestions?? Im going to try to eventually convert them to freshwater or at least try and read more on that..but for now obv they will be brackish...any ideas or suggestions? what can I use as a filter? I dont necessarily expect them all to survive...but I would much rather try

| I have no idea about those particular fish. A kiddie pool or large rubbermaid should work. You don't really need a filter, some water movement from a fountain, powerhead or water pump will work. |

| thats a good idea...should I get some filter floss for the bottom of the pool to house some nitrifying bacteria... I got a 451gal pool for 13$, right now I have 50 of these guys
