Relocation!

[Jaslyn]

We might be moving back to Europe next year after June. Anyone can tell me how do I move my fish? Is it even possible? I have 22 blood parrot fish and my marine tank of 2 little blue tangs, 1 yellow angelfish, 4 normal clown, 1 maroon clown and a small yellow goby.

I certainly dont want to leave them here if there is any possibility to move them with me.

Oh God, so fast and you will be leaving us already?????

I will pass you an issue of FAMA mag that have a article written on it.

HTH

[Jaslyn]

wont be leaving you guys. Can still keep in touch on SRC and emails. Somemore you guys can visit me.

guess it wouldnt be easy to move the marine tank as would need time to cycle the water to be ready... this is the only difficult part.

Huh... what abt kieanne ?! My Devon will miss him leh.. .

Anyway the packing charges they charge to transport the fishes can kill !

[andylee]

Maybe they just dump the whole tank into the sea and trawl to europe..

[Jaslyn]

Princess..

Hand carry I dont mind but 22? You know when I moved them over from across the street where I used to live? I used 4 buckets and it was really heavy.

[k0na_scab]

air freight them over ? or check-in as extra luggage

get those styrofoam box n pack them in but the cost may nt be cheap.

remember the stickers *live fish*this side up* lol

[andylee]

air freight shldn't be a problem.. like how fishes are ordered online and freight over. But not sure abt cost though.

Anyway sis, i kaypo abit, ur husband german or u german?

[Jaslyn]

to the kaypo andylee,

my husband is German

Really not sure if its a good idea to air frieght them over with us cos when we arrived,we have to look for place to stay...then set up aquarium to put them in... fish unlike dogs,can bring along,worst case send them to friend's house or pet boarding...sigh...I still remember,a guppy costed S$6 8 yrs ago...

Actually I have a funny story to tell since we are on the topic of blood parrot.

One and a half year ago, I suggested to a good friend of mine to go into marine as he have grown sick of fresh water (blood parrot).

So in order for him to start, he needs to get rid of the blood parrots. We spend weeks trying to sell or even give them away but to no avail.

One day, he called me to tell me the temple near his house have a pond and would most likely take them in.

So we loaded the 8 fishes and went to the temple. As he was afriad that the temple would reject him, he quietly release the fishes into the pond.

The next morning while he passes by the temple on the way to work, he heard shouts and curses and lots of comotions.

Upon investigating he realized the workers of the temple were asked to fish out all the blood parrots from the pond as they are deem as unsuitable candidates for the temple's pond which consist of high-grade kois.

My friend walked away quietly...........

In Singapore you eat wanton mee, nasi lemak, mee rebus, hor fun and or chian....in Germany (if that is where you are going back to) over there you eat pork knucklers, schnitzul (hope i get it correct - anyway its fXXking Tonkatsu) drink beer and have some orgy...

So if expensive to import your fishes or expensive to buy over there, then there are also guinea pigs to keep hehehehhe...

[Jaslyn]

The keyword is kept the fish for so long,sure have feeling.My house is near the bright hill temple but there is no way I m going to learn from gouldian's friend to release it into the pond haha
