i'll be moving to Florida in 7 months. i have to move my fish down. Approx. a liitle over 20 hour drive. any suggestions on how to move fish down? I thought of using a power converter to plug into cigarette lighter to run a small filter in my truck. i would probably use rubbermaid containers to hold the fish. it'll be summertime so temp. shouldn't be an issue. any other suggestions?

I drove fish from Texas to Indy and they had been in the tanks all night and I didn't take them out for another day and they were fine.

First don't feed them for 2or3 days and them buy some of the battery opperated bubblers and use them and you should be fine.
