I have a four hour drive from my college to home and I'll have to take my tank home for Thanksgiving. Will everything be fine in a bag for 5-6 hours? I have a betta, four cardinals, five pygmy cory cats, an otocinclus and an ADF. For plants I've got a java fern and will be getting some moss this weekend.
On a side note, I believe I've fallen pray to unintelligible/deceptive LFS workers. I thought I could trust him since he seemed to know what he was doing; knew about cycling and stuff, at least, unlike many of those others write about. Whenever I went in I ended up talking to him for an hour or more, but when I questioned him about stocking (the current fish I listed above are in a 10 gallon, 125GPH filter) he said that I had "plenty of room" for more fish, claiming that live plants increase the amount you can keep in a tank. I started to become skeptical when he said the 10 gallon was too big for a betta and suggested a few tanks UNDER 1 gallon. I'm thinking about applying for a job at this store by the way, since it's really close and I'd love to learn more about fish and other animals. I really want to be able to trust him-- he claims to have been keeping fish since his childhood days and he's probably in his mid-late 20s.
Sorry, I'm rambling now. Any help is appreciated!
