How far will you be travelling? Also, is it cold or warm at the time when you are moving where you are?

The best method is to bag the fish (ask the lfs to help you) and then put it in styrofoam boxes to maintain the temperatures. Then the filter media is put in a bucket of water to keep the bacteria alive.



P.T.

thanks for the reply!! the new place is only about 45 minutes away and i live in HK so the temp's not a problem... it's currently about 17 degrees C and i don't use a heater for my tank anyway... but i'm worried about the fish suffocating... and where do i get bags for transporting them? the lfs person said she didn't know when i asked her how to move fishes.

Yes, well she can be as clueless as she likes. All you have to ask her for is some bags like what they use normally when they sell fish. Have them show you the technique to getting the water and fish in the bag and how to close it too, cuz it looks easier than it is!

good luck!
