Aquarium Advice Apprentice
I've searched the forum and I haven't found anything that fits with what we're doing this coming July.
We're moving, state to state. The trip is about 15 total hours on the road and we have an overnight stop along the way. I won't be able to set up a tank at the new location before we get there.
We have a lightly stocked 20 gallon (5 cherry barbs). I would prefer to rehome them in our current area but my son loves his fish so they're coming with us.
I plan to put the fish in a 5 gallon bucket with a small filter and heater (I have AC power available in the vehicle). Is the filter overkill? We may have a total of 48-72 hours from when the fish are removed from their current home until we're set up in the new place.
The date of this move may be more an issue with cooling though. We're driving through the California upper desert then Owens Valley, Nevada, southern Oregon and Idaho. Would a cooler be a better choice than the bucket?
I'll take as much water with me as I can and all the substrate. Weight will not be an issue, space may be.
I know this question has been asked and I apologize for asking again. I'm just hoping to hear from somebody that has done a longer distance move with fish.
