So I have 3 stingrays around 15-24 inch disk marble and motoro. I have 22 inch timensis peacock bass. 5 inch tiger datnoids. And 5 baby stingrays. My question is how can I deliver then to north dakota from salem oregon. Its a 20 hour drive. I already have my 500 gallon aquarium setup and cycling in north dakota. Does anybody know or has transferred fish such a London distance

rent a uhaul and put all the fish into tupper containers or syro containers from fish stores with battery air pumps. Depending on the weather you may need heat pads too. I drove my stingray 12hrs with just an air pump and he's fine.

As posted: Rubbermaids and air pumps / power heads. (Or get a pump that uses air injection so you get bubbles AND motion from one device.) Water change on the way if needed. Bring an ammonia and pH test kit to keep an eye on parameters.

I've done multi-day transports using that method with a lot of success.

Thanks for all the advice. I found a 275 gallon tote water container that im gonna be using to house all the fish. Im gonna hook up air bubbler to the power inverter that I bought. And a small pump for water circulation. The tote measure 40" wide 46 " length and 48" tall.

What shall I do for water splashing out? the tote im using has a big opening. can I use like double tape and put an acrylic sheet on top? Would that seal it good enough?

Can you put a lid on it and drill holes for hoses etc?
