Transporting Fish Tips

Transporting fish requires attention to detail to ensure their health and well-being. One key tip is to always use bags or containers that are large enough to hold both water and air to allow oxygen exchange. If the trip is long, consider using battery-operated aerators to keep the water oxygenated. Maintaining a stable temperature is crucial, so insulated boxes can be very helpful, especially during colder or warmer months. After the move, acclimate the fish slowly by gradually adding tank water to their containers before fully releasing them into the new environment to minimize shock.
