Tips on traveling for a long time with a fish?
I recently got a betta fish for my dorm room. I’m going home for a week at the end of November, and I can’t leave him in my dorm because he won’t get fed. I live nine hours away from my university. Does anyone have any tips on safely traveling five hundred miles by car with a fish? I’m rather attached to him.
I also am a little strapped for cash right now. And practically in the middle of nowhere. You guys have good ideas, they just probably won’t work for me.
Ryan: NO.
He has to get fed. I see your concern. There are fish feeders and feeder blocks, but the blocks can cloud your water. That is probably your best bet, unless you can find someoen you trust to feed your fish for you while your gone.
EDIT: If you really need to take him with you, and you probably will sooner or later when the year ends you go back home for the summer, I would fill a plastic bacg 1/4 of the way with water from his tank, then put him in, then put him in a styrofoam box filled with styrofoam peanuts and make sure it is nice and tight in the car and won’t slip around too much. Maybe you can stop a few times along the way to make sure he has enough oxygen, or maybe but an air stone in there and just try to get there quickly.
Leon!
