YeW Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 Hi -If you are just shuffling the tank you might be able to leave them in the gravel once you've removed all the water.If you need to move the tank any decent distance then remove the plants, put them in fish bags with some water (do the bags up) and transport, then replant.You'll set the tank back a few weeks - but it is a necessary evil .

PHL Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 Most plants are pretty hardy, and will survive as Dave says; personally I have just enough water to have high humidity, so as to reduce weight. Only problem ones are crypts; due to the different tank conditions, they are likely to melt for a week or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
