Moving Fish

As posted on our normal blog we are moving house...

THAT MEANS MOVING FISH!!!!

oh boy! even I'm worried. Thankfully we have arranged it so that we have a 4 day gap in which to move the little tykes.

But reading about moving fish, searching the vast world of the internet I've found the following hints/suggestions/advice

• change 20% of the water daily for several days before the move
• dont feed the fish 2 days prior to moving
• leave 1/4 to 1/3 of the bag as air
• transport 80% of the mature tank water

• allow the heater time to cool off before removing it from the tank.
• remove all the gravel and water BEFORE moving the tank
  
• remove the decor before chasing the fish down!

Should be fun, anyone interested in helping were moving all 3 tanks on Australia Day. :)
