Ok... here is the thing... I am moving down to Pittsburgh which is about an hour and half drive from where I'm at now. I have a giant black Pacu which I want to take with me. He is housed in 250 gallons tank and hopefully soon, once I get down there, I can get him a nice 500 gallons for him. But for now, I want to know what's the best way to move him without damaging him. He already got a small scar on him when I move few years ago and he wasn't easy to move. Since then.... he gotten alot bigger.... about 32" long. Any advice?

If I were you, I would invest in a large aerated portable livewell from a fishing supply place. You can get some that look like large coolers or some are round so the fish can continue to move. With a monster like that it might be a good idea just in case of an emergency anyways.
