And you shouldn\u2019t do it either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When taken out of their well-established environment, freshwater aquarium fish get so stressed out that they won\u2019t eat for the duration of the move, no matter how long that house move lasts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And due to their heightened sensitivity to even minor changes in their familiar surroundings and conditions, some of your water friends may never make it to the new home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To make the relocation experience safe for your delicate aquarium fish and to increase their chance of survival during the move, it\u2019s imperative that you use a number of basic principles and important steps that\u2019ll show you how to move a fish tank to a new house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to move a fish tank to another house is to follow this step-by-step moving guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Step__CONSIDER_your_fish_tank_moving_options\">Step 1. CONSIDER your fish tank moving options<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Moving your fish tank to a new home is a delicate business. Here\u2019s what you need to know way before you take hold of your trusted net and start catching the fish in order to transfer them into suitable containers for transport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"ul_ol_padding wp-block-list\"><li><strong>ASSESS<\/strong> the risk for your fish and act accordingly. Your aquarium fish will refuse to eat while they are on the move due to the sudden stress of being out of their controlled environment. Even after the move is complete, it\u2019ll be some time before they get back to feeling alright again.<\/li><li><strong>DO<\/strong> what\u2019s best for your pet friends. If you\u2019re moving long distance, then consider giving away your fish to trustworthy friends who already have appropriate aquariums and will be happy to have them. This way, you\u2019ll be able to keep your fish pals from almost certain demise, move only the fish tank, and then purchase new fish after settling into the new place.<\/li><li><strong>PLAN<\/strong> your fish tank move well. Minimize the period your fish spend outside their carefully controlled and monitored environment. Think several steps ahead so that your fish get to be the last thing you prepare for the move and load into the moving vehicle, and then the first thing you unload and tend to after arriving in the new home.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"\/move\/specialty-items-difficult-to-move-without-movers\/\">5 Specialty Items That Are Almost Impossible to Move Without Movers<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Step__GET_the_right_moving_supplies\">Step 2.

PREPARE the fish for transport<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most crucial steps of moving a fish tank to another home is to prepare its precious inhabitants for the ride of their lives. Here\u2019s how to prepare your fish for transport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"ul_ol_padding wp-block-list\"><li><strong>STOP<\/strong> feeding your fish 24-48 hours prior to Moving day. It\u2019s okay &#8211; aquarium fish can live without any food for about a week. This step is necessary so that the water can stay fairly waste-free during the actual move.<\/li><li><strong>DRAIN<\/strong> some of the water from the fish tank using the siphon hose and pour it into two or three of the plastic buckets until they are about two-thirds full. <strong>Do NOT fill<\/strong> the buckets to the brims to avoid water spills during the move. Your freshwater fish must be transported in their old water to prevent shock. If happen to be moving freshwater fish that\u2019s less sensitive, then you may use a mix of old tank water and fresh distilled water.<\/li><li><strong>TAKE<\/strong> out the net and catch carefully all of your precious fish. Then, place them gently into one of the buckets with enough water. If you have a lot of fish or if they are particularly large, you may need to split them between several receptacles. It\u2019s very important that you count your fish carefully as you\u2019re transferring them into suitable containers for transport so that not a single one is left behind by choosing a bad time to play hide-and-seek with you.<\/li><li><strong>CLOSE <\/strong>the plastic buckets with their lids but ensure that air can still reach the water and the fish inside the moving containers. Make small holes in the plastic lids or provide extra oxygen with the help of battery-operated air pumps for containers with larger fish or when it\u2019s a long-distance move in hot weather.<\/li><li><strong>USE <\/strong>fish plastic bags for transporting small fish over short distances. Fill the bags with 1\/3 of water and 2\/3 of air. You\u2019re strongly recommended to double bag for added safety. You should <strong>NEVER <\/strong>blow into a fish bag to inflate it.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"\/move\/moving-with-a-dog\/\">How to Move With a Dog to a New Home<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Step__PREPARE_the_fish_tank_for_transport\">Step 4.

This is a crucial step because you\u2019ll want to save and move as much of the fish tank water (70%-80% is best) to the new home as possible. Doing so will help you minimize the stress for your poor fish and will speed up the formation of the biological balance after you set up the fish tank in the new place. Use the plastic lids to avoid spills.<\/li><li><strong>TAKE OUT<\/strong> any live plants from the fish tank and place them into a plastic bucket filled with tank water. Just like your freshwater fish, those live plants will need water to survive the house move.<\/li><li><strong>REMOVE<\/strong> any sorts of decorations from the aquarium &#8211; rocks, rock castles, pirate ships, sunken treasure chests, artificial plants, <strong>NO FISHING<\/strong> signs, etc. &#8211; any aquarium ornaments you currently have in your fish tank. Dry them up the best you can, then pack each one into soft packing paper and arrange them into a small to medium cardboard box. If a fish tank ornament is too fragile, then wrap it with a layer of bubble wrap over the initial paper one for extra protection.<\/li><li><strong>REMOVE<\/strong> any types of fish tank equipment and accessories too &#8211; pumps, heaters, chillers, light fixtures, tubes, filters, etc. Again, dry them carefully, then wrap them in white packing paper and then in bubble wrap, and transfer them into a suitable cardboard box. Label that moving container to be able to find it fast right after the move.<\/li><li><strong>DRAIN<\/strong> completely your fish tank &#8211; don\u2019t leave any water inside no matter how small its quantity is. And no, you cannot move a tank fish with water in it for fear of serious damage to the glass aquarium.<\/li><li><strong>REMOVE <\/strong>any sand or gravel from the bottom of the aquarium, if any. That extra weight can easily cause your glass fish tank to crack or even shatter when you try to move it, so transfer all that sand or gravel into an empty bucket to take it with you to the new home. Make sure it\u2019s wet throughout the move to keep important bacteria alive.<\/li><li><strong>CLEAN <\/strong>the empty fish tank using a wet or dry vacuum cleaner, then dry it up completely. Pack the glass aquarium in packing paper first, then use bubble wrap on top of it for extra protection. Finally, wrap the entire fish tank in a couple of thick furniture blankets and tape those protective covers in place.<\/li><li><strong>EXERCISE<\/strong> extra care when handling the fish tank itself \u2013 it should be kept level as much as possible. Any accidental twisting or tilting when it is being transported may prove fatal to the integrity of the sealant that keeps the glass panels together. When moving a larger fish tank, ask a few friends to give you a hand moving and loading the fragile aquarium structure into the moving vehicle.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"\/move\/how-moving-affects-cats\/\">How to Move With a Cat to a New Home<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Step__SET_UP_the_fish_tank_in_the_new_home\">Step 5.

If you\u2019ve been thinking of redesigning the interior of your aquarium for some time but could not find the time or energy to do it, this may be the perfect time for you to show your designer\u2019s skills and introduce a few minor, or maybe major, changes in the living space of your beloved fish.<\/li><li><strong>INSTALL<\/strong> the fish tank equipment pieces one by one &#8211; heaters, filters, pumps, lights, and so on &#8211; but don\u2019t plug them in yet.<\/li><li><strong>FILL <\/strong>the fish tank approximately halfway with the old water you\u2019ve moved from the old home. Pour it very carefully onto a kitchen plate to prevent disturbing the gravel or sand you\u2019ve already introduced into the aquarium.
