Moving a planted Tank

[alto]

That was painful... For all parties involved.
And only half way there. I've had to drop the tank at my parents as we can't move into for another week.

I lost a few ember tetras that hid in the plants . Then didn't survive being washed about. Shrimps all seem happy.
Some of the plants have been up rooted but I'm sure with some tlc they should be fine.

That “wash” effect happens in buckets as well - which is why fish are always recommended to be moved in suitable bags (1/3 water, 2/3 air - unless breathable bag)

Hope Part 2 goes better

Hope Part 2 goes better

So do I, it's a shorter distance and hopefully also a bit less rushed. But we will see.

The house we were meant to be moving into fell through and we haven't had time to sort all the paperwork out, everything has gone into storage and currently in a b&b. I'm not sure I can think of a way to make it more painful.
