We are getting a new roof on Monday. They said it will take 2-3 days. I'm afraid the loud noises will freak out my fish. I can set up a 10 gallon out in my art studio (short path down to it), but would transferring them cause more stress than just waiting it out? I have a mandarin, firefish, and yellow watchman goby.
Thanks!

I would think they will be ok where they are. I would definitely cover the tank if you think Dust might get in. Got pictures of the tank?

I think you’ll be fine. I performed all kinds of destruction at my last house and the fish never complained. The drive by shootings and helicopters didn’t even phase them!

We had our roof done a few years ago, no issues to speak of.

How old is the house? The only way I see an issue is if the house is older and doesn't have plywood laid down already under the roof that is there. Then you MIGHT get a little dust that may come through, but I don't think it would be anything to worry about.
