im going to be moveing from NH to AZ around dec. i love my fish and want to bring them with me. ill be driving down there. the drive will take about 3-4 days, what do i do. plz help. i dont trust anyone with my fish.

Oooh... That is quite a perdicerment. So how many fish do you have and what sizes? You will probabl need to get those batterypowered aerators but the amount of fish can change that.

i hate to say it, but when my fish go on long trips they do get "drugged" with special gas mixes, but if you dont have access to that, remember to stock a few fishes per bag and provide around 1/4 water(depending on fish type,size,amount etc.., but lets say one or two small fish in a large bag) and the rest air.

while 2-4 day travel isn't really anything, they should be fine, but again it depends on what kind of fish and how many.

ok ready.......
2 plecos, 30 molly (mostly fry that i think im going to sell), 8 danios, 2 angels (one med one small), 1 krib, 1 ram, 2 Paradise Fish, 1 Pearl Gourami (3in), 2 Two Spot Gourami (one L one S), 2 Honey Gouramis, 1 Convict (2in), about 12 endlers, 2 swordtails (1in), 2 black shirt tetras, 1 choclate gourami, 1 Hatchetfish, maybe one bamboo shrimp but i havent seen him in a long time. and the pride of my tank a 3in Red Bellied Pacu. just to let you know there all in 3 diff tanks, im not overstocked im just crazy about fish. im also moving 1 cal king snake, one corn snake, one golden tree frog, one lepard gecko, about 15 spring pepers. so im not worred about geting equipment to transport them all. thanks for all your advice

by the lack of replys i assume its impossible. if this isnt true plz tell what i can do.

Heh, No its not impossible. You will just need a lot of help. There are a lot of fish and you will really want to get aerators.

Chris

what do i keep the fish in? bags, plasic containers...

did u think about plastic trash cans? that might be a good way to move your snakes and maybe a fish or to given you take chris's suggestion of battery airpumps. azoo makes a good one.

koi bags:
1)for the 2 plecos
1)large blue gourami
1)lerri gourami
1)6 endlers/ bag *
1)pacu
1)large angel *

again, you want to provide around 1/4 water, but for the * it can vary due to the amount of fish, and the height of the angel.

reg bags:
3)3 danios / per bag
1) angel
1) krib
1) ram
1) paradice
1) paradice
1) blue gourami
1)both honey gourami
1)convict
1) per sowrdtail
1 both black tetras
1) chocolate gourami
1) hatchfish

it would be important to add less fish in a bag, so keep that in mind.

i got all the other animals squard away. ive moved them before. im just not sure about the fish, i hope i can get the koi bags you said. lfs right.

Sounds good bettachris, But what are Koi Bags?
