moving house

[Anne]

I am moving house soon. What is the best way to transport my fish? I have 1 red tailed black shark, 1 gourami, couple of tetras and harlequins, 1 clown loach, 1 plec and about 50 platies!! Moving about 30 mins away, maybe less.

maybe u could put them in a bag, with water of course...

make shure they have plenty of air in the bag. 30 miles is no bother for most of those fish i used to get fish in bristol and take them home to wales on the bus. so long as they dont get sloshed about too much. i used to try and buffer the knocks and jolts by holding them up and moving my arms like a suspension system. it is allot of fish perhaps it will take a few trips.

yeah, i would use a seperate bag for each fish though. then put all the bags with the fish into a box that is perfect size for the bags to all fit. then the bags won't fly around
