    koi 2 hour + transport

    I found someone to finally take my koi into their pond. Trouble is, this pond is a 1 1/2-2 hour trip. What's the best way to transport this koi during the trip? The person taking it knows about fish and acclimation, the problem only is getting it there. Thanks in advance!
