Thanks that was what I was worried about I thought they could go with
=out food for 3 days as that is how long I plan on taking yo fix my
problem..................................the other alternative I
thought was to put them in the hot tub (with heat turned off) as I
could aerate it and just clean up after I took them out

Is it possible to run the water from the kiddie pool through your filter?
That will extend the time you can keep them in the temp. quarters (with the
estabished filter). I would also add aeration and a NET! They *will* jump.
Try to find some way to run your filter on the temp pond; it's the easiest
way. Otherwise, you're in for a world of hurt trying to keep the ammonia and
nitrItes in check.

Good luck, and work as fast as you can.
