We have two fantails and we're going to be moving them across country by car. Is there anything special that I need to be aware of to do before we start the trip? We're going to be putting them in a much smaller tank, 2.5 gallons I believe, so that we can move them easier, is that going to be enough room? And what about oxygen in their water, is there anything special I can do for that? Any help is apreciated.

Well, I know this was posted quite awhile ago, but on the chance you haven't moved yet I'll help a little.
I have found an easier way to move fish is getting a large cooler with a draining spout. This way they have room to move and on a long trip you can do a partial water change at rest stops (use water from your old place if possible). If you make any avernight stays on the way bring some sort of agitator with you to get oxygen in the water. As long as the cooler is secure in the car you can pop the top a little. That should be enough to keep the water oxygenated while driving. I would also suggest using your cars airconditioning if going through somewhere hot, as warm water holds less oxygen.
