Question:i have 5 tropical fish left since the tank is only 2 days old what can i do to keep them alive untill the tank is fully ready thanks
Answers:
You need to monitor ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and PH, it all depends on the size or your tank however, i would be looking to do 20 pct treated water changes over the next week or so to keep a check on the ammonia. Once Nitrate starts showing up then the cycle is coming to an end and you should get zero readings on ammonia and nitrite at the end of the cycle then you can add more fish.
But it all depends on the size of the tank, and the size of the fish you've already put in there.

Keep them swimming in H2O.
Don't kill it
feed them, keep in fresh room temperture, not too warm either fresh water weekly
put them in water and feed them...
Make sure the water is always clean and feed them (don't give them too much food though, or you'll kill them).
Um. well..first of all. Make sure they are in water. Second. Are they salt water fish..or fresh water fish. You gotta make sure of that.
quit eating them
put some stress coat in buy some aquarium salt (not salt water salt there is a difference) and they should be fine because fish can survive in a tank that isnt fully cycled as long as there isnt any chlorine in your water or anything so if you get your water from a well there isnt any i have the luxury of a well so when i get new fish i dont have to worry about cycling it because their arent any dangers in it but they should do fine and i hope they do. if their tropical temp should be around 72 to 80 feed them as much as they can eat in two minutes and remove the rest of the food then (unless its flake food virtually impossible to remove) so it doesnt rot and cause disease and make sure the filter can filter at least ten more gallons than you have in your tank if they are messy fish if not your good. and im sorry about all the a'ss holes that dont realize that your serious i hate people that do that because you could be getting decent info but they turn it into a joke when a person really needs help so once again im sorry for you.
e water for e fishes is veri important.. did ya leave e water in a pail over nite or add some salt into it? if ur fishes is of those marine type den e water for e fishes need more attention. e water muz b at a certain temperature n e salt level content as well.
just feed them (not 2 much or some will die) change there water so that the tank will be clean . Make sure the water is not 2 worm or cold. And they should be fine and healthy so that they can get put into the other tank
go to the pet store and there are water treatments. If it is a new tank then it does not have the bacteria to eat all the poo. So your fish will get really ill of ammonia.
feed them and change the bowl thingy
make sure that they swim in the right kind of water.maybe they live in salt water...and give them the right food,tropically fish are very difficult to keep,i have had 8 fishes an 7 of them died because it wasn't the right kind of water they lived in...one of them is still alive,he lives already 7 years...You can ask to a specialist what's wrong,or in the shop where you bought them(that cost nothing ;))So...good luck!!
just keep feeding them and caring for them
if the tank is only 2 days old i would go out and buy a bottle of BioSpira this is a bacterial cocktail that will help keep your tank healthy. scince it's only 2 days old you'll probably have to change the water daily to keep the ammonia from building up. or return the remaining fish to the store and just add the BioSpira and in about two weeks the tank should keep any fish healthy and fine. if the tank is saltwater, there is a Marine BioSpira but it's a little harder to come by, try petcos as they usually have saltwater fish.
