what if i move...?

[lychee]

If I moved, how would I take my fish with me? I have two convicts and their fry, a bolivian ram, and some platy fry. i don't want to give them away. should i pack them up in a box in bags and take it with me? should i mail them to people i know in the city i'm moving to? i don't know what to do!

thanx. but how am i suppose to prepare packaging for a seven-hour ride (four hours on plane and three hours by car)? most fish from the store don't even last that long in a bag... i've moved before with fish but i have never moved out of state with them.

the "by plane" part might be a bit of trouble, im planing on moving my fishies 12 hours overland, and ive got a great set up for transporting them, ive even tested it. Imnot sure how to move them by plane trip..

im not sure if you're aloud to take them on a plane.. i would call the airline and as what the procedures are for transporting pets (fish expecially). and they should be fine for 7 hours without a filter im just not sure about heat..u may want to ask someone who has done this before
just my advice
