A careful approach is very important when moving an aquarium. We understand that your fish and the preservation of the ecosystem within the aquarium are your priority. That is why we discuss your preference prior to the move: do you want to leave the fish in the aquarium or move them in special plastic bags?

If you choose to leave the fish in the aquarium, we will remove some of the water to reduce weight. However, this is only suitable for smaller aquariums, as the weight of the water can cause problems such as leaking joints in larger aquariums. Our team is ready to give you specific advice for your situation, so that the move goes smoothly.

If you choose to move the fish into plastic bags, we usually recommend emptying the entire aquarium. This way we minimize the risk of water damage. This method is often used in larger aquariums and aquariums with less sensitive fish that can cope well with changes in the ecosystem.

Location dependent

When moving an aquarium, the approach depends on several factors, such as the type of aquarium, the types of fish and the distance between the houses. If the distance between the houses is short, such as when moving within the same city, we can choose to temporarily remove the fish from the aquarium and move the aquarium quickly. In this way, the fish only remain outside their familiar environment for a short time and they can tolerate this better than if they are not in their aquarium for hours, as can be the case with a long-distance move.
