What Should I Do ?

[Darcie]

I am moving 3 hours away and I don't know what I should go about my fish. 3 hours I think is to long to have them in a bag. Is there any other way to transport them? Should I see if the pet store will give me credit if I give them back and get new ones at the new place? What should I do ? I have Guppies, Platies and 2 small frogs. Thanks

3 hours is not too long in a bag. I transported 75 fish across 3 provinces (15 hours) in bags and had only 1 loss. Just make sure that they are well packed into a sturdy container. The main concern is getting the filter and gravel to the other end without losing your bateria. Put this in another bag and ensure that it is kept wet. others will have more info that will help you out. Its a fair bit of preparation but it is not overly difficult. Also do a search on the forums there are lots of great posts on this. HTH
