Along with moving your furniture, appliances, plants, and boxes upon boxes of clothing knickknacks and organizing your children and pets and any other members of your householdmoving and aquarium takes a lot of forethought. If you want your fish to survive your move across Plano, or even across Texas or beyond their measures that you need to take to ensure the safety of your fish and the equipment of the aquarium itself.
The first thing that you want to do is obtain a holding container for your fish. This May include several different holding containers depending on how many fish you have how much room that they require and level of oxygen that they require. Although some fish may be able to cohabitate and a large aquarium the worst can happen and a small holding container and your fish may The injured or worse if they are not held in a properly size container. You can contact your local aquarium expert or pet store to ensure that you are holding your fish in their temporary habitat correctly.
The next thing that you want to do is to very carefully disassemble your aquarium. This includes removing all parts of pumps, and making sure any rocks or dwellings are safely packed away as not to crack or chip and a glass in your aquarium. (it goes without saying that you will need to drain the tank first or you’ll have quite a mess. You can use the water from the aquarium and to put in your fish temporary holding tank so that their environment isn’t suddenly changed too drastically)
Any filters for your fish tank can be set on medium (do not clean-you want your fish to have the least amount of trauma possible while moving them back-and-forth between containers) make sure your filter is in a sealed bag so it does not get to contaminated with outside bacteria that could be harmful to your fish.
make sure that pumps, heaters, and anything electrical is carefully placed in boxes or bags, sealed and properly wrapped so that way none of the tiny delicate pieces fall loose or get damaged.
