MOVING WITH AQUARIUM - THE FISH MUST BE WITH!
While the construction and maintenance of an aquarium means a lot of work, the move of a medium-sized aquarium can quickly become a very stressful matter. We have therefore listed some tips on this topic in the following section: A good preparation is everything! Once you have set the date of the move, you should consider the vessels in which you want to transport the fish. Suitable for a smaller number of big fish bags as you get when you buy fish. These are inflated after catching the fish as in the animal treatment and then placed in a cool bag or styrofoam box. In larger swarms of smaller fish, the bucket with lid can also be used as a means of transport. Here you will find in the trade oxygen tablets, which can be added to the water, so that the fish also easily survive a longer standing time. In any case, the fish should be varied and well fed in the weeks before the move so that they are strong and can build up a good immune system. Immediately (normally two days) before the move, the fish should not be fed at all in order not to unnecessarily burden the water during transportation by the exudates.
The moving day
The moving day of the aquarium should take place before or after the actual move. You should schedule a few hours for catching, packing and dismantling the aquarium. If you want to use the old aquarium water again in the new place (which is always in parts), you should first start the drain of this water. On the one hand, the water is cleaner, since you catch dirt while catching the fish and on the other hand, less water in the aquarium makes finding and catching the fish easier. Afterwards, the plants and decorative objects should be removed from the basin. The plants need not be transported in the water; It is enough to keep the plants moist. For longer transports, wet kitchen towels are also suitable. The catch of the fish should be as stress-free as possible. So you always catch as small quantities of fish as you can and store them in measuring cups or similar containers. If enough fish for a bag are put together and the bag is then placed in the transport container. If the pouches are transparent you should put between the bags newspaper paper or similar. To prevent aggressive behavior between fish from different pouches. If all the fish have been caught and packaged, the filter or the hoses can be removed, the remaining water drained and the ground ground for transport into a bucket or similar. To scoop If the aquarium is empty you can use the situation to get rid of algae again.
After transport
As soon as the aquarium at the new place stands safely and in the balance on its new place I can be reversed order with the establishment begun. Once the basin has been finished, the water is filled and the technique in function can slowly use the fish. Since they do not eat on the first day, a direct feeding should be dispensed with. The next day you should measure the water values again and correct if necessary. In the following days you should observe the fish intensively in order to react quickly in case of problems. We hope, however, that you can avoid all problems with our tips. If you have any questions, we would be happy to help you with relocation gurus and even have companies in the portfolio that will take over the relocation of your aquarium!
