you have a hospital tank or quarantine tank now

Just monitor the ammonia levels in the bucket and be prepared for a water change

Very good moves lucky0505

I would set up a proper hospital tank, but that bucket should be fine for now. You will need some kind of movement in there, either an airstone or small powerhead with some tubing attached and spilling back in to the bucket at the surface. It's tough to see through a bucket, so get a tank so you can monitor your progress and examine your fish. Throw some PVC pipe in the tank for shelter.
