Thank you all for the help. I bagged them all and filled the bags with air from the pump, put them in a cooler and supplies in buckets with some tank water and off we went. Very happy to report that they all made it and are doing great! I really appreciate all of your help, and so do my fishies!

OK, bought 8 bags. Hubby is supposed to pick up a cooler. I am going to skip the heat packs because it's supposed to be 100 degrees here. I will attempt to use the bubbler hose to add more air into the bags. Moving on Thurs. Keeping my fingers crossed. Thanks for the suggestions!

These are all very helpful, thank you! So... I got 3 5 gallon buckets with lids. I can put the gravel and plants/decor in one with some tank water, the filter media in another with tank water.... I can fill the 3rd with tank water or put the fish in it. What is the SAFEST way for the fish? I was...

OMG I didn't even think about the filter, thank you! Any idea on setting up the tank when we get to where we're going? I will put the water they are in in the tank. I was thinking of filling another 5 gallon with their current tank water.... But that's 10 gal of a 38 gal, is that too much of a...

I called the place I bought my fish and they said they would be fine in a 5 gallon bucket with a lid as long as they didn't get hot.... Hoping he was right. All of my fish are pretty small (2 gouramis, 2 tetras, 2 plecos, a danio, and an odessa barb), and they are in a 38 gallon tank. How the...

I got a new Albino Cory today, and it is following the older one around and they both seem happy! I'm pretty sure I saw Otocinclus at the LFS today. I will let Waldo stay and see if he gets too big for the tank. I saw one at the LFS store today and it was pretty big. If Waldo gets that big I...

Looks like the catfish is an Albino Cory, and apparently those need friends too. So, I need wood, shrimp, and more fish. Oddly that makes me happy! Thank you for your help

Oh good, fiber to help get all the poop out! LMAO! I did read that not all plecos need wood, and I was under the assumption mine didn't. Wow, the BN Pleco is... interesting looking! Definately loving the window washing, I just need a clean up crew for the window washer. How big is too big for...

I found out about the pleco poop factory the hard way! lol. I got him (her?) from a different pet store, and they certainly lied to me. They assured me it wouldn't get very big, and I unfortunately researched after the fact and found out that is most likely untrue. I will keep my fingers crossed...

Awesome, thank you! Less maintenance is definately better! I will look into getting some ghost shrimp =D

I have a 39 gallon tank with an external Aqueon filter, can't remember the size but the fish shop (reputable, not a petco or petsmart place!) states the filter is the right size. Set up for 2 months. 2 gouramis, 2 neon tetras, 1 zebra danio, 1 odessa barb, 1 albino catfish (not sure what kind...
