help, urgent fish question!!

Help, we have a pond that has a lot of goldfish and a few koi, it needs to be emptied and repaired,

we bought a blow up plastic pool to keep the fish in, so my question, is this safe?? dont some plastic things like that have have a residdue on them? I will wash it real good but I would hate to have all of my fish die due to something stupid I did, I dont know what else to use, we have like 40 fish

thanks

sounds like it will work, but remember to wash the pool out good with jsut water before you fill it with the fish, and not any types of soaps or cleaners.

 

thanks, I will rinse it out real good and wont use any soap

 

and depending on your location, you might need some dechlorinator for the water or not.

 

All good advice,
If the fishes start to gulp air at the waters surface, just add a pump with an airstone. This will keep the oxygen exchange high, and prevent the fishes from stressing out.
Good luck.
