CalmedByFish Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 The only car that the rental company could come up with for our 4-day move reeks of cigarette. I've got to put my plastic tubs of fish in there. I was planning to run air pumps, but maybe the fish are better off not having cigarette pumped into their water! Anybody know? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flumpweesel Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Urgh grim for you to. I personally wouldn't worry about the smell hurting the fish you'll be keeping the air flow through the car pretty high no doubt for your own comfort so that should reduce issues. The main issue is the smoke reducing o2 and increasing particulates in rooms with tanks and reducing gas exchange and there is no smoke in your situation But if you use anything to try and remove the smell make sure your air the car well before adding the fish as that will hang in the air longer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flumpweesel Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Alcohol in a spray bottle can be really good at getting the smell off people and fabrics with few rouge chemicals being left in the air but you'll still need to air it dry to be effective. I used to use an alcohol based spray for my hair to get the smell out after bar shifts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppysnail Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 The smell alone will not hurt anything other than your sense of smell. But your fishes will be okay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with the move, just think how good it will feel not to be planning this anymore. Looking forward to reading how the fishy road trip goes and seeing the tanks set back at other side. Safe travels 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
