I need help! We are getting carpet installed ASAP and I have to move the tanks I could really use some help moving the tanks/inhabitants somewhere out of the way until they are sold.

75 gallon with zebra moray, foxface, and flame hawk (how do I catch/move the moray? He is about 2 ft long.)

tall appr 55 gal cube with target mandarin, watchman goby and pistol shrimp

29 gallon freshwater with pictus catfish

Any tips on how to move the eel into something else? There are no nets that are 2 ft long. :)

Well i know i can hand feed and pet my snowflake but any large net for fish should work. just do the transfer as quickly and gently possible. i would suggest removing what you can to another tank out of the way. that way hidy holes aren't as easy for the eel to hide in.
