Water quality in the small holding tank is also degrading quite
rapidly; I believe its going over its first bacterial bloom. The fish
are atleast eating now, which is nice..

Don't forget the Amquell (ammonia detox additives) a little salt for
nitrite detox and 10% water changes every few days. Test the water, and if
you don't have a test kit, do the above and order some. In the meantime,
chisel away. ~ jan
