Aquarium Fish

Moving an aquarium involves quite a bit of work, and as a rule of thumb, the larger the fish tank, and the more fish inside it, the more work it will involve. So if you can, try to donate some of the fish before moving, especially if you have shoals of identical fish.

Although you should do all this the last minute before moving house, you will need to be prepared with the right containers. A tried and tested method of transporting fish is simply placing the fish in zipper-seal bags or standard bags sealed in a loose knot or using a rubber band. If you envisage a long trip (lasting more than 6 hours) you should feed the fish less for a couple of days prior to the move – this will minimize their excretion and hence the water in the bags remains cleaner for longer.

Ideally these bags should be placed in a thermal isolator such as a picnic cooler or a cooler bag. Try to segregate fish by their species and ensure that every bag has sufficient water for the entire fish to be comfortably immersed even when the container gets slightly tilted.
