Re: Moving....
I once moved 52 tanks of apistos and killies from Buffalo, NY to
Cockeysville, MD. It was autumn, as it is now, and this played to my favor.
Most of the fish spent a week in the bags with no ill effect. The water
parameters in the two locations were way different, and the fish made the
switch just fine. Maybe they were just so glad to get out of the bags they
rewarded me by not keeling over. A year and a half later I moved across
Baltimore County using the same approach, and the fish started kicking the
bucket after two days in the bags. The only differences I can see looking
back, is that leaving Buffalo, the fish were packed in faily acid water,
which would keep ammonia at bay, and the heat was, well, typical Baltimore
July.
