Sorry you have to loose your pets. The bucket should be ok to move them in. If they are really big, maybe a separate bucket for each one. Also, large Igloo ice chests make great moving containers as they have lids and pacus jump when caught or spooked. Be sure you have something to cover the bucket the moment you put the pacus in there. Use a BIG net or 2 to catch them as they flop around with real strength. Don't feed them for a day before you move them to clean their insides out. Just use their tank water in the bucket. It should be fine. The only issuses are their jumping and their size, so covers and room is all that is needed. What will you put in the tank now? Sometimes fish stores will give you more in trade than in cash for fish.

I like the bucket more, as the igloo containers are night deep enough, nor wide enough, for the pacus. I do have a large clear plastic bin, I think I'll move them in there if it's possible. I'm thinking of trading them in for a fogger/humidifyer, I'll have to ask if they will let me trade
I'm not sure what i'll put in the tank, I might make it a cichlid tank, a reef tank, or just a terrarium for my cps. thanks for your help bobby!
I'll let you know how it goes.

P.S.- I like using the pillow case, it was more effective, I could close the top of the case, so they can't flop out. the only nets I saw big enough to catch the pacus had the metal rims, I don't like those, as the fish can get hurt with them. any help with the pleco? last time I moved him he stabbed me real hard! Oh, and how big can they get? Thanks
