im gonna move soon and it'll be a 4 hour drive. i have a 9" jar, 6" fh, 7" senegal, 6" rtc, and 6" pleco. how do i ensure they will make the trip. can i jus bag'em and put"em in styro containers? or do i need to put'em in like a 5g container each w/some type of portable airstone/airpump. what is the simpliest way that will ensure their well being cuz its just not the fish that ill be moving? when fish are shipped overnight how do they ensure live arrival?
 
I would get a couple of coolers and run an airstone in them. Also make sure to keep your filter media in a bucket or something, and it wouldnt hurt to run air on it as well. (use tank water for all obviously). Keeping your old filter media alive will prevent your tank from cycling agian. :thumbsup:
 
several topics regarding this. At the top of the forums, there is a search link
