Hello, I want to transport my 1 year old Flowerhorn on a 14 hour drive. He’s about the size of your hand. How do I do this and what do I need for it?
 
If it were me, I'd put the fish in a 5 gallon bucket of new dechlorinated water, with a little bio-media from the tank in the bucket, and attach a battery operated air pump.
I'd also bring some fresh dechlorinated water along and every time I made a stop, I'd take some water out, and add some fresh.
This may be overkill, but its what I'd do
 
Battery powered air pump as duanes said, or a converter pack for your 12v car port and a normal air pump.

Also i would avoid feeding for 2 days prior to move to cut down on waste.
