I am moving 5 hours away and don't know how to move my fish. I bought 2 small insulated coolers thinking that would be okay, but I can't get rid of the "chemical" smell in them so I don't think I can use them. My 2 gold fish are pretty big and I also have freshwater 30 gallon with 10 fish.
I do have 2 portable battery operated air pumps to use for the trip. I just don't know what kind of container to use. I can't find any huge pickle jars for some reason. It seems they are half the size now a days. What can do?
Also should I just bottle up the current water to put back into the tanks when I set them back up?
