Large screw top bottles thoroughly rinsed are a good way to transport water. Can you get some 10-15 litre spring water containers? Otherwise get lots of empty soft drink bottles. Cordial bottles, wine, beer, whatever.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30765699.post-48105979224893478732009-06-10T16:44:41.056-04:002009-06-10T16:44:41.056-04:00We moved our salt water fish tank from Florida to ...We moved our salt water fish tank from Florida to here...no casualties.....it was easier than I though it would be..you just need a container for him to float in (just enough of your pond water to cover him, including when the water sloshes) and a bubbler for bait...which is a battery pack and a tube that blows air...available at walmart, it think...but definitely gander mountain...I am not sure how long he can stay in it (our 5 salt fish and 2 starfish lasted 4 days)...the real problem is that you probably need some of your CURRENT pond water in his new home...that was the rule with our sw fish...so we transported 2 buckets w/ fish and live rock and several multi-gallon buckets of water! btw...I still have these if you need to borrow them (but sorry-no container for your fish)...but check with Wet Pets-they know pond fish better than me!ChickLitLisanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30765699.post-74086649215033213232009-06-10T14:46:20.575-04:002009-06-10T14:46:20.575-04:00have fun with that!

Maybe the local pet store where you got them will come out and transport them for you?Birdiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16421900422424458803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30765699.post-85051678666724077432009-06-10T14:11:57.829-04:002009-06-10T14:11:57.829-04:00You could put the fish in your new home's floo...You could put the fish in your new home's flooded living room.
