OT how do I move a fish tank
« on: August 31, 2013, 01:19:35 AM »
I've got a gaggle of fish and I don't know how to keep them alive while we move. I have named several of them and one of them (un-named but naked) is orange and has a ridiculously long nose. Some periodically make eye contact and I don't want to see them die in the process.

Do you want to live with having friends die because of your lack of preparation? One is spotted like a cow.

You need to replace the waters before it gets stagnant. You also need to block the the nitrogen levels from rising. If you can do that, you can tackle a move easily.

If I whip it around with a giant cauldron fork every hour or so help immensely? Also, does where we're moving keep them motivated to try and live longer?
