Im moving 1700 miles (25 hour drive non-stop) and want to take my fish with me, how do I keep them a2007-11-24 23:37:03

Two of the fish are blood parrots and the other is a placostomus (sp?). My boyfriend gave them to me so I want to keep them but I'll be driving for about two days. Is there any way I can get them to my final destination alive or do I have to give them away?

Answers:

Ask your local pet shop, what they generally do is put them in a carry bag and fill it with oxygen and seal the mouth of the bag, the fish will last for about 36 hrs and are easy to carry as you can put the bag in a container. Clean and neat way no mess

Put them in to water they will alive longer

Take them out of the fishbowl every 45 minutes and give them mouth to mouth resuscitation.

I don't think fish travel well they need to have a filter going at all times unless they are a beta and can stand being in unfiltered water for a while. But even them they there will be water all over the place and maybe even the fish might end up out of the tank instead of in. To hard on them and to hard on you I would part with them and maybe you can get more once you get to your new destination

keep them in water and feed them food

hmmm.u can put them in a waterproof box.u know those big white box whereby the fish monger use.or u can visit fishing shop and purchase a bag whereby they keep prawns in it.u can attach a air pump at the side.it works on battries.so u can actually keep the fish alive and u just have to change the batteries if the air pump die off.so in this way.i guess your fish will survive till the end of the trip.

keep them in water and make sure they get enough surface/air mixture or you will have to have a small pump handy
