Fish Fanatic
Hi!
I'm moving back to college about 3 hours away and want some advice on how to transport them. I have 3 gardneri killifish and 6 corycats in my 10 gallon, and one betta and 4 mystery snails in my 5 gallon. Both tanks are heavily planted and cycled.
Where I am now, water is very soft (don't remember parameters exactly but under 50 ppm), and where I'm going the hardness is even softer at under 10 ppm. Here, the pH of the water is around 6.4, but where I'm going it's around 8. How do I prepare my fish? I don't know how exactly I would bring their water with me.
How should I transport my fish? I don't want to rescape my tanks, so can the plants stay planted for 3 hours without drying out?
(0 ammonia, 0 nitrites, 20 ppm nitrates as of yesterday)
