Aquarium Advice Apprentice
So we are going to be moving this Wednesday from Wisconsin to Florida and it is going to take us 7 days to get their. My hubby wants to stop in Louisiana to visit with his family that he hasn't seen in over a year. My problem is that I am taking 3 fish that I couldn't bare to part with. I convinced my LFS to take my barbs and danios but I want to stay with my bristlenose pleco, dwarf blue gourami, and an otto. So, this is my set up: Styrofoam cooler, battery operated air pump, 3 containers all connected with airline tubing, a couple of gallons of water, and 20 packs of "Hothands"(4"by 3" packs that keep hands warm when out in cold)
My questions are:
Do I fill the gallons with treated tap water or tank water?
I wanted to put a small cut out piece of my filters in each of the containers covered with a couple of inches of my gravel to have seeded bacteria when I get their...
Do you think these heat packs will keep the inside of the cooler warm enough? If not what else can I put in their?
Do I feed them on the trip? Their all pretty fat fish, so I don't think they'll be starving and they will probablly be to stressed to eat.
I plan on doing daily water changes. Maybe like 50% a day.
Anyways, thanks in advance. I'm hoping you guys can help me out today, since my internet service will be shut off tomorrow. I'll let you all know how it goes!
