When we were moving to Houston, we transfered all the fish into specially treated "coolers" for transport. Sean and the older boys left a few days before me. They took the fish. When it was time for me to make the trip, I had to take the tank off the cabinet stand, lower it to the floor, get it out the house and uo and into the van. By MYSELF! 250 gallons, VERY HEAVY! I did it and got it to Houston without any problems. Sean helps me unload it out of the van. SEAN drops it out of the van! It broke! We had no money to buy subsitute tanks or anything and we had to watch several of our fish die, {some of them 10 inches long and weighing a few pounds!} before we were able to get tanks again. It was heart breaking. Fish have personalities. They make great pets! Keep trying and good luck!sean & kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18164875480803466173noreply@blogger.com
