Sir Eds Small Fry Posts: 9 Kudos: 5 Votes: 0 Registered: 12-Jan-2005 | I actually have a large net thet came with my Wal-Mart pool. That seemed to work fine with my Arowanas and pacus. I suggest if you have any friends with a Wal-Mart bought pool to see if you may somehow use there already bought net to attain your fishes. Cause I know Id rather have a net catch them than me.  |

houston Fish Guru You want what when? Posts: 2623 Kudos: 2462 Votes: 337 Registered: 29-Mar-2003  | I always use a large ice chest myself to transport them, it always works for me...but a 20 gallon tub type thing with lid will work fine, have done that also :%) best of luck in whatever you choose...but why are you moving the tank may I ask? and how far?--Heidi "I've got a great ambition to die of exhaustion rather than boredom."

And put some aquarium water in there and the fish. YOu will ahve to drive carefully to reduce the stress and to keep from water splashing everywhere but hey, it works. ==fish1 |
