![]() | house moving tips please we've finally had our moving date. The end of this month, that gives 3 weeks of packing right? wrong, we are away next week so it only really gives us just over 2 weeks. It shouldn't be too bad as we're moving next door and luckily the bad weather earlier in the year blew down 2 fences in the back garden which we've never replaced cause this move was always on the cards. I've got 2 massive fish tanks, 2 rabbits, 2 guinea pigs, 2 kids and a husband and 4 years of cr*p to move Help....any tips or suggestions would be so greatly appreciated!!! ps, will invite you all to the housewarming too ![]() |

![]() | Re: house moving tips please Ok, fish tanks: Siphon the water off into buckets or bottles and keep hold of it. Label the bottles so ou know which water goes to which tank. Your tanks should be either the last or first thing you move. The fish should be bagged up, or left in the tank or placed in the buckets. They'll be fine as long as the heater and filter are turned off for no more than an hour. Obviously be as quick as you can and dont cause any undue stress. If you want more information try the forum at thinkfish. You'll probably need to register, but it's a fantastic resource.

![]() | Re: house moving tips please If the babies die, I'm sure the randy little b*stards will have more lol. If it's just mollies in a tank, try adding a little marine salt (1 gram per litre) to make the water slightly brackish. They prefer brackish water, and will mate far more easily.
