I am moving over 1000 miles from where I live now. Is there anyway I can move my fish safely. I have considered selling my 80 gallon tank and setup with the fish, but no way to tell if the new owner will actually keep the fish or use it to set up for saltwater or other type of fish. There are about 18 fish and mostly tetras and a bumble bee catfish, all that I have had for over 2 to 3 years and doing well.
Moving long distance what should I do.

Get live fish packaging like places that ship fish use. Unless you're done with them, there's no need to give it up.

Make sure you fast your fish for a full day before moving, to keep waste to a minimum in their transport container. Also, make sure you have a lot of air space, or air holes in the container.
You can pack up your fish comfortably for the trip... 1000 miles is a lot but many fish are imported from much bigger distances than that. Maybe that's the best choice. Perhaps look into giving away the fish separately from the tank - this would ensure that they don't get thrown out by the new owner...
