* Fish update: I got the leak down to a slow drip, but that's not good enough. It would get worse quickly. So that's it for the 30 gallon. Really, I needed someone to help me for the next bit, but there was no one to do it but me. The splinter colony adults and a surprisingly large contingent of fry were still alive and transfer was their only hope. I moved a betta tank over by the long 20, then prepped the... I'm thinking it's a fifteen. I moved a bunch of the dirt and started bailing water into it. I transferred the adults and made a best effort at the fry, though they are small and it's hard to tell how many made it. I nigh killed myself taking it half full to the bathroom where I'd cleared the space for it where the betta had been. They got half the fish furniture from the 30. Then came bailing the long twenty down to nearly empty and hurting myself getting it up on the 30's old stand. I bailed as much as the long twenty would take from the back up twenty, as there is a chance some fry might have traveled into it with the plants and water. Then I hurt myself again getting the back up twenty from coffee table to the long twenty's old stand. This makes sense as it's a better use of space and gives the betta display space. Then came the long process of getting the rest of the thirty dirt into the twenty and 15, filling both, setting both up with basic resources. I've no light for the 15 and the back up twenty's going to share the tall twenty light. I'm short a bio filter and really need two heaters as they are on their last legs as well as lights. I saw the adults swimming around the fifteen and the corys survivors poking around in the long twenty, so I suppose that is something. I don't really trust the back up tanks which is why they were emergency back up tanks. The pleco was alive at feeding time, so fingers crossed. So that is what I did today with all of the spoons and likely tomorrow's.
Fry Addendum: It looks like a lot of the little ones made it. I've propped a betta light in there for the plants, which isn't particularly safe, but fry health requires plants to hide in. Also, I spotted the whiptail grazing the corys tank.
