    Hi everyone. I need some advice and recommendations for moving fish.
    So long story short I’m moving at the end of the month and need to move 9 tanks ranging from 1ft to 4ft tanks. I have a bunch of tanks that are currently empty and I’m planning on moving them first filling them with water then once the water is declorinated move the fish into those tanks without filters only heaters and aeration (will add hornwort and moss probably to keep stress to a minimum) Then the following day bring the filters along with the tanks the fish used to be in and set them up and move the fish to their original tanks.
    Is there any better way to do this or any other recommendations? Will the fish be fine without filtration for a day or possibly 2 days at most if something might go wrong.
    Any advice will be greatly appreciated as I really don’t want to loose any fish during this process and want to make it as less stressful as possible.
    TIA for any help.
