Loading ...How do I transport my Koi and Commets?
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
I have severl Butterfly Koi and Commets that are from 18 inches to 7 inches. All together there are around 15 fish. We will be moving about 5 hours away and I would love to take my fish. Does anyone know how I can safely transport them?
I already plan on leaving all the quite large Goldfish but really wanted to take the others.
Money is not an issue.
Here in Texas they sell the 12 inch for 0.00 So you can see they are worth taking.

That's tough.
What I'd do is go and get a cooler that would fit all of these fish in it. They sell (or at least they did) a battery powered air pump you can take and put in there, for some filtration. Put some of the gravel in the bottom to maintain some of that good bacteria, and carry along a little hydrogen peroxide in case they get a little lethargic. It's H2O2, so it's water with an extra oxygen molecule, and I used it before when my power was out for days. A tablespoon per ten gallons helps to increase the oxygen.
I'd also get a little Stress Coat to help them out so they don't get sick, both in the transport and in their new home.
