no worries bout the bucket, just try to minimize how much sloshing or moving around, a day or two in a bucket wont hurt most fish as long as they have heat and some flow they will be fine.

The fish should be fine long enough for the tank to clear up. Remember, they were all at one time shipped overnight (at best) to a store in small plastic bags; they can handle being in a bucket with some heat and circulation. It shouldn't take the tank that long to clear up anyway, and they can certainly handle a bit of cloudiness. It's not like it's poison gas or anything, just particulates floating in the water.

I agree with rbaldino and the others. When I changed my tank from CC to sand I had a small yellow tang and two yellow tail b@$tards, uh I mean damsels in a 5gal bucket for 2 days with just a heater and air stone. They were fine and made it back into the tank with no problems.

The reason I ask about the porcupine is that I've seen those little numbers in the wild and some of those were like 4' long. Big fish.
