How about when it gets here....I have a huge cooler, and I was thinking we could put him inside there, inside of a heavy duty garbage bag or something? Heat packs...o2...whatever. Nonstop obviously wont feed for the last couple days before we make the move, so o2 wont be AS necessary, but its better safe than sorry.
So drip acclimation once we get him back to the lab? I know you guys are picky about shark acclimation, and I would like to have the same standards. Thanks

Well...I have big 100g tubs that we use for aquaculture during the summer...but I figure that is huge over kill for a 16" shark.
What does it take to get the fish out of the bag and into the tank though?

Ha ya I don't wanna carry a 100 gallon tub with water in it!! lol Big cooler sounds like a good idea. I fed him on Tuesday, and haven't/won't feed him again. Garbage bag would also work inside there, but I don't know that it serves any purpose because the cooler obviously won't break.
In my experience I have just carefully but firmly grabbed him and moved him. I have seen a few other people do that as well. I couldn't come up with anything better for moving him because he cruises and jumps when he is getting moved. Any better ideas would definitely be helpful for this case and the future.

Oh common'...its not that bad. What...800 pounds? Nothing.
Ha ha no I was thinking more like...back of SUV...fill with with 5g buckets. But not the whole way of course. I am leaving Wisconsin on the 6th of January, so PM me with a time that works for you. I dont have the new substrate in, and would like to do an h2o change a week after I get it in. So maybe...next week? I realize that it is the holidays and everyone is busy, but just PM, text, or Email me so we can work something out.
Getting really excited guys. I have some people already asking if we could potentially get another and breed them. What do yall think?
Well guys, we will be getting in this shark early saturday afternoon. Thanks for all help.

Drip acclimate - but make sure you know numbers on both bodies of water prior to starting.
I'd use a cooler to move something like that, but take air (whether O2 or a bubbler). You need to have it close to 100% DO saturation. Also be mindful of the temp. Up there this time of year will be hard to keep it warm....even if the car itself it warm.
