Big move

[Earl Karl]

So I am moving to Tampa, FL from Illinois. That is about a 20 hour drive at most. However, I can't leave my fish, I sold many of my fish, but I kept some that has a deep place in my heart or has utility in my tanks. I want to bring these fish with me, but 20 hour drive seems too long for these fish to handle. My fish consist of:
3' Hawaiian Dragon Eel
30 inch Snowflake Eel
Moorish Idol
Kiri Trigger
Aussie CBB
Cleaner Wrasse
Sixline Wrasse
Fiji Blue Devil Damsel
Flame Angel
Clownfish
Lawnmower Blenny
Red Mandarin
I have storage totes for the eels and five gallon buckets for the fish. I have battery powered air pumps with replacement batteries. Is there anything else I need to do? Any helpful tips?

I don't have any experience moving fish that distance, so I can't offer any specific tips. I can say that if you wanted to run some pumps, you could buy an inverter.

I already have inverters, but I also have these pumps in hand. I'm just gonna make use of them because they are stronger than any other pumps I used and last long. Plus I have replacement batteries.

heaters to keep that water warm. Car batteries could be outfitted to provide power.
