How to Move Fish

Published May 13, 2012

Moving fish requires making a fish tank in your car.  Difficulty level: 7.3.

Okay, maybe that’s a little too huge, but moving fish isn’t easy.  It’s definitely harder than moving a dog, which is definitely harder than moving a chair.  Here’s how to do it:

  1. Get the materials – at the most basic, you’ll need a plastic container, a plastic bag and some heavy-duty rubber bands.  The container will protect the bag.  If the container cracks, the bag will keep the fish swimming.
  2. Make the tank – put the plastic bag inside the container.
  3. Fill it with fish – fill the plastic bag with fish and fresh water from your tank.
  4. Secure it – use rubber bands to either secure the plastic bag to the container (if the container has a lid) or to close off the plastic bag.  Make sure to leave some air for the fish.
