Guppy infecting pleco and corys

[EliasG]

Hi!

Looking to merge two aquariums. My guppies died in tank A, so want to move my plecos and corys from that tank to tank B.
Should I be concerned about disease from the dead guppies having infected my plecos and corys?
Tank B only has plecos, gibbiceps, L333s, yoyo loaches.

Surviving fish in tank A all look healthy.

Thanks!

Keep them in tank A. Don't take the risk spreading a possible disease to another tank.

How long should I keep them there before deeming them safe? Going away on vacation in 5 weeks, would be nice merging the tanks before that as tank B will have a reliable feeder which tank A unfortunately will not.
Guppies didn't have visible symptoms before dying, so not sure if disease is present. Could have been heat from summer, but not certain.

When you say your guppies died, how many are we talking about here and what was the time frame?

I had 4, two died with a month or two between them. Then the last male and female died with 2 days between them last week. They were 1.5-2 years old at that point.

If all the other fish in that tank are fine and the guppies were acting normal then I'd say you don't have anything to worry about because the guppies probably died of age

Been 2 weeks, all still fine. Another 2 weeks before I have to move them.
At what point can they be considered safe?

There isn't a specific one, but I'd try now.
