How can i move a full tropical fish tank without loosing any fish, Im moving house?
Go to the fish store and get a whole pile of fish bags. Fill these with 1/3 aquarium water, put the fishes in, and tie it off with as much air as you can, like the fish store does. Double bag them to be sure. This method is more work at first than just dumping them into buckets, but much easier and safer to transport in the end. Then place these bags in coolers – styrofoam or plastic. This will keep the temperature stable for you and also keep the fish in the dark, which eases their stress immensely and keeps them calm. Alternatively you can jut fill the coolers with water and put the fish right in, but i this case make sure the cooler is very clean – bags are less risky and hold more air. When you get to the other end, make sure you fill the tank, treat it with conditiner, and let it run for a few hours to aerate before introducing the fish – they’ll be fine in the bags in the cooler for this time. Make sure you transfer your filter media safely and wet (you can bag it too) to preserv
