need help deciding if I should evacuate fish

[Neros503]

Hello reefers, I was recently evacuated because of a fire but wasn't able to get the fish then but now some police officer might be able to get the fish. Is it safe to have them get my fish? unfortunately we can't get them ourselves. Its just two clownfish and I've found someone who can care for them but they might not make it in a plastic bag for so long. It can happen tomorrow or the next day. Any help is much appreciated

If they can get them to you in a reasonable amount of time, go for it.

Ok thank you. Since I'm not aloud to get the fish do you think the Police officerr can do it correctly?

I agree with Flipper. Better safe than sorry.

it would have to survive for more than an hour. Would they be able to make it?

With a net? It's better than rolling a dice and you can't get back to them or the fire gets to your house and they die. Hopefully that doesn't happen!

In a tied off bag with water, of course. They ship fish long distances from all over the world. A couple of hours should be okay.

In a bucket is fine too. Clowns are tough! Just plenty of water with them.

Why not ?

cause its just some random police man

Not too many people would be willing to do this

I think I'll have them get the clowns in a bucket and just hope for the best. Thank you all for the help

Hi guys just a quick update: they were not able to rescue the fish then but we able to go today ourselves and there still alive everything is chaos the tank is very dirty and a lot of water evaporated. Should we get the fish somewhere or would that be to stressful, or should we try to maintenance the tank and keep the fish where they are? unfortunately we move back yet

Well clowns are hardy AF IMHO so if you can even get them in a 10 or 20 while you sort things out I would. Glad to hear you and yours are well. Stay safe.
