Question: Bit of help needed.

Hi,
I will be moving house in the next couple of months and wondering the best process to move my 2 axies and set their tank back up. I should have the facility to move most if not all the water currently in their tank, not sure if I will be able to move them in their tank comfortably.

Hay Shells, I to am moving in the next couple of months form Queensland to NSW and have been thinking about it for a while now.
I am going to purchase one of those fridges that go in your car and plug into the cig lighter. I am going to turn it on and set the temp then put Sunny in a bag of water and sit it in there securely. I can't transfer the water so I am emptying the tank. Putting the plants in bags of water and the sand in large containers. Put the tank in the car and move like that.

I think this would be the best way to move the Axies in a safe, dark, cool environment.

Blaze.

just in case your not aware the majority of the beneficial bacteria is on the substrate/filter and not in the water. if you just feel more comfortable bringing the old water that works, but as long as its the same temperature and you acclimate your axolotl it won't matter if it's new water or old water. On a side note make sure to keep your filter pads wet and your substrate at least a little damp.

Thanks Carson feel alot more at ease now.

Thanks Shells. It certainly is but Sunnys laidback nature will make it easy. I also have two dogs, three rats and two horses to move as well. Will be a big one!
