I've hauled Fish in 75 gallon Horse Tanks repeatedly, 50-60 gallons per tank, 4 tanks on a utility trailer. I use 4 outdoor pond bubblers, rated for either (memory is slipping) 500 gallon or 500 CF ponds. 10 hours on the road, home after dark, hold till next morning, confirm water within 5*F of pond and dump. YP, WE, SMB, etc. 20-25 lbs per tank. Only occasional morts. I haul October till mid June in Oklahoma. Lid covers all 4 tanks, 3/4" plywood with 3 inches of foam attached to lid and tanks ride on 4" of foam , insulated from sun and road heat. Long haul with temps above 85*F, I would pass on. One other thing, I split air lines for redundancy . Aerator #1 serves Tanks A & B , Aerator #2 also serves Tanks A & B , Aerators 3 and 4 both serve tanks C & D . It's worked well so far,, 70 hours of road time so far. Best I can tell, never a bruised or beat up fish. 4 tanks allow me to segregate by size and/or species.
