| | before the move in order to make water in
|
| need to take fish out of the aquarium and
| |
| | the containers as clean as possible. As a
|
| move them separately. Tanks are rarely

| | matter of fact, fish would feel too
|
| built to withstand the stress of a move,
| |
| | stressed to eat during the whole move -
|
| especially with water inside. So you need

| finished putting all your fish in
| |
| | Seal the styrofoam boxes with lids and
|
| carrying containers. The main concern
| |
| | bags - with rubber bands; to reduce the
|
| when moving a fishtank is its filtration
| |
| | chance of leaking you can double bag your
|
| system. The aerobic bacteria needed to
| |
| | fish. Put the water plants in the

|
| week delay.Disassemble your aquarium
| |
| | aquarium first. Add gravel, preferably
|
| before the move; heaters, pumps, filters
