Planning ahead for fish move

[Willbacon23]

Hey guys, in October I am going to be moving house and will be taking my fish with me. The only tank I need to transport is my 25 gallon with corys a Bristlenose pleco and 6 danios. I’m wondering what’s the best way to transport them? I was considering buying a 15L plastic tank for transportation and putting them in there and buying oxygenation tablets but I’m unsure. If it is possible to put an air stone in or something I would prefer that. It’s a 3 hour drive. Thanks for all your help!

You can put them in 5G buckets, with heaters and air stones. You also need to drain the tank, so it’s not full of water.

No problem. @Colin_T’s information is very good.
