So I'm moving at the end of the week, and I've looked all over the web for answers to this but is bagging really the best way to move fish?
I've picked up a 30gallon tote, and a handful of 80oz leftover containers. The plan was to put a betta in 2 of them and a gourami in another and the red tail shark I picked up that is still being quarantined in another. That would leave a gourami, 2 cories, 2 otocinclus, albino bn pleco, 6 guppies, and 9 fry out in the rest of the tote.
I've got an inverter I was going to use to run a 200w heater and an air pump to keep the water moving via sponge filter and air stone for the RTS. The fry would stay in the mesh breeder box for protection. Figuring on 6-8 inches of water in the tote and just floating my plants in there with them.
Am I missing anything? Should I do something different? Or should I just bag as many as I can?
The tanks are getting broke down and the substrate rinsed and dried for the move. Or at least rinsed well. Mostly sand anyway. Though I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to separate black dirt from black sand ?.
