I need help, I'm moving out of my home into a new city that is about two hours form my place, the big problem is that I have to move a 150 gal tank and 1 Big Oscar, 1 Green terror, 2 severum, 1 Jack, 1 Chocolate chichlid, and 6 silver dollars, all of them are adults.
I have an empty 120 tank, that coud be helpful.
Any advise?
 
I would take them out of the 150 and put them in the other tank. Then, bring the 150 to your new place, set it up, and the next day, bring the fish over. Make sure you keep your filter media and the top layer of your substrate moist to preserve your good bacteria.
 
Get two of those giant rubbermaid 30 gallon tubs and put them in there. If you have an airstone, put one in, or, leave the lid open slightly. Don't fill it up all the way with water though. For two hours they should be fine. If you have some source of electicity in you car where you can plug a heater into, I would to that, or, leave your car windos open so that the water doesn't get too cold.
 
Any Wal Mart has battery operated air pumps in the fishing department- that and an airstone might help during the ride.
I believe some folks treat the transport water with some sort of ammonia removal product like Amquel- the fish are pretty stressed and foul their small amount of water quickly.
