How do I move large fish???

[jmccalip]

:help:

I bought a 125g used with 4 fish.

One 12" Black Pacu
One 13" Common pleco
Two 7" unknown fish:

I need the profiles of these two fish. They are a silver color with noticeable scales and have light red fins. Thanks!


BTW: I am moving the fish about 30min away. I don't even want them though, I'm trying to sell them to a LFS.

Are they Tin Foil Barbs?

As for moving them, those are big guys, I'd get 2 large, deep, Rubbermaid tubs with lids (preferably brand new and thoroughly rinsed) and fill them with their old tank water only as much as necessary for the fish to be able to swim upright. One tub for the pacu alone and one for the pleco and the two barbs. And secure the lids once they're in there. They should be fine for a 30 minute trip.

It would be best to use a large clear garbage bag, filled completely with water so its inflated like a balloon.

Then gently lead the fish into the bag. Once you've got them in the bag you could either release into the rubbermaid like mentioned above (but then you'll have to catch them again when taking them out), or keep them in the bag and put straight into the rubbermaid.

Good luck and have fun hehe they'll be a PITA to catch
