    hi mate.

    Good luck with the move. keep as much water as you to refill the tank. Transport the fish in fish bags and use newspaper to block out the sides to help keep them calm. Oxygen in the bags will go a long way.

    In addition to Aaron's comments:
    To keep temp loss to a minimum try some form of styrofoam packaging with a lid. Don't open until you are ready to unpack.

    Don't feed them for a couple of days prior (less fish waste in the bags).
    You might try a few drops of stress coat or similar.

    Maybe transport your filter media wet, in a bucket or cannister with an airstone?? Can't hurt.

    Don't rush !!

    Do you have someone you know (LFS) that could keep them for you for a couple of days and then ship them to you? We will be moving from FL to NC possibly and this is what I planned on doing...
