Possibly moving from Pennsylvania to Tennessee in a few months currently have about 6 tanks up in running rn not sure whether to take all the fish to a local fish store and restart all my tanks once I get settled in or attempt to move all the fish with the tanks. The tanks are a 125, 2x75’s, 55, 35, and a 20.
I’m afraid to kill all the fish trying to move all them that far any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Those are all small tanks you can easily replace once you move. I'm not sure what kind of stock you have but if it's common fish I would just sell everything. This way you can start fresh with upgraded tanks as well.... moving the tanks wouldbt be that bad with a decent uhaul trailer bit moving all those fish 10 hrs would be a pain..... I would sell

Btw where in PA are you just curious since I'm also in PA

agreed. since you have a couple months sell/rehome everything. keep maybe one smaller tank with your dearest fish if you need to. put whatever money you make towards one or two nice larger tank setups when you reach your new destination.

Near Pittsburgh about 20 mins south it’s a little town called ellizabeth I would be willing to get rid of most of the fish for cheap to a good home
 
What is your plan / desire for the new house? Do you have a place for all the tanks?

I'd personally rather have 1 larger tank (with a smaller grow out tank) than lots of little tanks, but I know others are of different mindsets.

So right now you have almost 400 gallons of water, so if I were you I'd sell all but 1 tank and all but your very favorite fish, and then get a new 300 gallon when you get there :)
