Epic Journey: Moving 7 Planted Aquariums 1000 KM!

[@TropicaAquariumPlants]

*P.s. we made 2 mistakes 😥, the Cryptocoryne labeled in the video is actually a Hygrophila 'Araguaia' whereas the Hygrophila odora is our beloved Bolbitis 🌱😅. We were really eager to get this video out it seems. This being said, let us know in the comments if you have any other curiosities 👇👇 about Interzoo 2024

Interesting topic, and I love the traveling graphics and the sound effects in this video.

[@TropicaAquariumPlants]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Missed your vocation as a bobble-headed trucker obviously! Thanks for sharing

[@Jan_Marsal]

Great video with great pace, thumbs up. And those tanks, one word, awesome...

[@TropicaAquariumPlants]

Awesome that you enjoyed it - thank you so much for watching!

Thank you very much!

Hi! I was wondering how did you managed to move the fish? I will be moving soon and although I think I have the hardscape and plants covered, I am struggling to find a solution for moving the fish... Thanks in advance,

Hey tropica, i was wondering if the following plants are good for betta fish: Tropica Alternanthera reineckii 'Mini' TC (1-2-Grow!), Tropica Staurogyne repens TC (1-2-Grow!), Tropica Alternanthera reineckii 'Pink' (potted). I found these on my local aquarium page and was wondering if they are good for some betta fish which my dad is going to get me for my birthday.

How do you keep the plants from drying out?

[@TropicaAquariumPlants]

The tanks are covered with plastic to ensure a humid environment during travel :)

[@chevyfish4028]

What type of cushioning do you use under the tanks or are they directly on a hard surface? Was there any cushioning on the tank bottoms during transport to protect the tanks from bouncing on the hard surfaces when the lorry hit a bump? Looks like a well organized move and the tanks are beautiful.

[@TropicaAquariumPlants]

The tanks were on wooden boards and nothing else; they were pretty fixed. The pallets themselves do a good job of cushioning.

@@TropicaAquariumPlants Thank you. It all looks wonderful. I'm sure you worried from start to finish but you can rest easy now as the move was a success. I'm on pins and needles when I move my tanks and am so relieved when they get to their destination and set back up with no losses. Congratulations on a successful move.

The hygrophila odora label is pointing at bolbitus and the cryptocoryne albeida brown is pointing at hygrophila araguaia. 🤷‍♂️

[@TropicaAquariumPlants]

You are very correct Dylan, we'll add a comment to fix it. With the odora we thought we'd get away as the label is technically pointing at the plant in the background (which happens to be an odora) 😅😃 but kudos to you for spotting them.

[@BertShackleford]

That is approximately _621 miles_ to the rest of us. You're welcome. Stay classy my friends.

[@TropicaAquariumPlants]

Thanks for the internationalization aid, Bert! 😃
