moving oscars 600 miles

Postby Les Reddick on Wed Nov 10, 2004 12:41 pm

We are moving out of state soon and need information on how to safely move our fish with us. We have 3 oscars. Can anyone give some suggestions?

easiest way - bags with water-some from the tank but mostly new - fill 1'2 of the bag with oxygen.

IF you can't get oxygen "bag buddies" will work just keep checking them.

Other option.

Put them in rubbermaid containers and run battery opreated pumps and airstones :thumbsup:

battery operated pumps are under $20 fish stores carry them or if your doesn't larger dept. stores (like wal-mart) have them in with fishing stuff.

How long would the fish be able to comfortably stay in a bag?
