    Hi,

    What is the survival chances of an 43cm clown knife and a 30cm arowana after a 1200km trip from Krugersdorp to George? They did survive trip in a "mini fish tank" and appear to be fine. I also put anti-stress stuff into the water.

    Do some water changes every 3 days or so, keep an eye on the fish to look for any signs of stress or illness, and keep it up with the anti-stress stuff.

    I have transported fish 1200km +- a couple of times with no problems,, the only thing for me is you must have an healthy tank to put them in after the trip.. Help a lot if there in groups..
