So I'm moving an hour and a half from where I live now and was wondering what the best way to move larger fish. (pike cichlid, P Bass, LM Bass, Crappie, bichir....all over 8 inches) Is their some kind of sealed plastic containers I can get anywhere?

get some rubbermaid tubs at walmart, there pretty cheap, and get a battery operated air pump to keep the water oxygenated they should be fine for just an hour and a half,

heres a quick link to one $39 for 8

Right on, I moved from Western PA to NJ and I just put all my fish in large rubbermaid, I used a regular air pump with a power converter (plug into cig lighter) and made it with no issues and that was a 7 hour move and like 9 hours from the first fish out of the tank until it was back in the tank. All large SA/CA cichlids and catfish
 
I moved from nj to fl and back to nj. I used big Rubbermaid an ac power inverter and ran a submersible fluval and a heater but that was a 22 hour drive. Battery powered air pump should be fine

i have moved fish from maine to florida and from florida to vermont. I use a trash back to line a cooler(just to prevent splashing. Then all I use is a power converter and an air pump. In all my trips I only lost 2 fish and that was when the air pump was accidentally turned off in the hotel room
