What is the best way to transport my tropical fish2007-11-24 23:41:05

If you're driving, empty the tank to about quarter full and put it on the floor behind the seat in the back of the vehicle, Wrap a blanket or quilt around it to retain temperature. If it doesn't fit on the floor wedge it on the rear seat.

I'm sure you know about a liquid you can get to put in the tank to calm the fish. It should be available in your local tropical fish shop.

the best way is to remove 50% of the water from the tank and move them in the tank. If not still you NEED the old water. Try your best not to disturb their enviornment. Now If it is a big tank and you cannot use this method it is best to use a container that wont slide or tip over. Leave some space at the top for hitting the brakes.sudden turns and so the fish don't just hop out. I would rinse out the containers quite a bit before I used them too

ok what you wanna do is explain whats happening to your fish then tell them the new addrees and flush them down the toilet , they should meet you there.

Dear Boney,

The best way to transport your fish is to go to the local pet store see if you can buy or they will give you some fish bags (let them know what kind of fish and size so they can give you the proper sized bag) Don't do more then half fill the bag with aquarium water then place the fish in the bag ( depending their again on the type of fish, and size, and size of the bag on how many you would place in each bag) then tie it up trying to get as much air as possible ( don't blow in the bag this will put in co2 ) then place them in a Styrofoam box or a cooler ( this will help maintain temp) and then you are set to go.( catfish, algae eating fish, loaches, botias, you should double bag. This means put the fish in the bag tie it, Put the rounded portion of the bag into the other bag and leave it like that . No corners less of a chance the above fish can put a hole in it.) Empty 99% of the water out of the aquarium. But make sure their is enough water to keep the gravel moist (don't want to lose all of that good bacteria) and when you get to your new home set-up the aquarium and acclimate your fish like you would when you bring them home from the pet store.

We did this recently - go to a local fish shop and see if they have any strong clear bags.
