I am going to be moving in two weeks and its a five hour drive all my fish are big so I was planning on using a big rubber maid container. I also believe I need to have a battery operated air pump? Where can I find one? Its about 75 degrees were I am so I shouldn't need heat packs. Any other advice would be awesome!!!
Thanks
 
My lfs all sell battery operated air pumps. If yours don't then order as many as you can from Dr's foster and smith as they have really good deals on them. Get them shipped as soon as possible as well. If you have aggressive fish then seperate the containers. Just get backup air pumps just in case. And bring electrical ones because there is always a chance that the battery ones break and you still need air.

I used an air pump from wall mart in outdoor section.....the ones to keep minnows alive...way cheaper than lfs
 
Walmart SPORTING GOODS, has battery powered pumps for about 12 dollars. Btw don't forget spare batterys

Thanks for the info I ended up ordering one for $9 on amazon. Hope everyone does well should I provide some plant in there for hiding or just bare?
