question on a longer move.. i plan on moving a few provinces over in a few years and was wondering if it'd be possible to ship my fish to the new place? or just start completely new?


its possible, but expensive.

you gotta couple years to plan, though.

starting new is always fun, though.
 
You didn't mention what kind of African cichlids...are you moving massive Fronts or a big group of small fish?

I've moved my tanks several times. Every time, I've used 5 gal buckets and air pumps. Aged, sponge filters, too, if I've got them at the time. If your fish are too big for a 5 gal bucket, use a rubbermaid bin. The benefit to using those over coolers is they're more useful afterwards. :)
 
Right, you can never have too much beer, ice and coolers for both :)

I have pretty small Mbuna, ranging in size from 1.5 to 3 inches each.

I like the idea of having them fast before we move, good plan.
