Here is a possiblity due to the possible size.. Still nothing is guaranteed.... This Excellent perpaired and Planned way to transport LARGE fish. I believe, still ended with one or two Fatalities. But in my opinion is right at the top of the very best tranprotation plans available

yeah.. hook up the largest cooler you can find and have a power inverter to a medium powerhead and have a flow bar spraying from one end to the other to provide swimming flow.. you can also add a ventiru to the powerhead and have a valve to adjust the air intake.
and its also good to have a prefilter on the powerhead too (like mentioned above). and i would personally stay away from tranquilizers unless your pretty sure you can handle it. make a straigh shot and hope for the best...

man this trip gonna be 24 hour from NJ to San Antnio, texas.. ..i think if i find a regula aro like silver or jar then im gonna ship him but if im finding a good hook up wit ma peep for asian aro then it is a risk to tranfer it by car, it mind die like i had read above... man. i had to learn more carful befo im taking the trip
Best way to move a larger fish like that is a cooler with an airstone. If you don't want to run a power inverted, there are battery operated versions at bait shops you can buy.
Also, take a pH test kit with you. Expect it to drop off with time, and be prepared to buffer it as needed.
A word of caution: Don't risk an Asain Aro in Texas. The guys down there have an extra out of for them right now, and don't blink to push jail time for having one.

I did it from England to Portugal ( not Spain...)
all the above advide is correct...ad in a sponge filter and a couple of jerry cans with extra water ( the water the aro was in, ok ' ) and do some partial watere changes on the way..
My aro was transported for 21 hours with 5 water changes along the way...open siome holes on the top of the box for gas exchange to take place.
My aro was trasnported in a 130 litre box.

Ya I would say why not add a sponge filter to the transport box of your aro that way it can keep things clean and airated as you go. Good luck with it all!
