I used to work in an aquarium and if we had to transport fish (which we really tried not to), we monitored their respiration rate, and watched for gill pumping - indicating stress. Fish need stability, so use water from the tank they are living in now, and then place them in to a very strong, double layered plastic bag. Also keep them dark and covered. Big styrofoam/ polysterene boxes (for insulation to keep temp stable), ex-packaging make good traveling containers for the plastic bags. You also need to consider a plan for when you re-locate them once you arrive. If the fish are bagged and inside a box, they should be ok next to the dogs, as long as the box isn't tipped up or anything! Hope this helps.

I was wondering how do i keep my fish safe and alive for that long, and also i have 2 black goldfish and they are about huge now and have no clue to traveling them and also i have 2 dogs also so i'm not sure how my dogs will react to my fish next to them. hello, i’m moving from iowa to louisianna and i think its a 9 hour drive or perhaps longer.
