Aquarium Movers in Toronto: Moving Fish Tanks, Terrariums & Reptile Enclosures
- 1 minute ago

Moving an aquarium is very different from moving regular furniture. Large glass tanks are heavy, fragile and difficult to carry through stairs, narrow doors and condo elevators. When fish, reptiles or other live animals are involved, careful preparation becomes even more important.
7 Moving provides aquarium and terrarium moving services in Toronto and the GTA, helping transport fish tanks, reptile enclosures, stands and related equipment.

Moving Aquariums and Terrariums
Our moving service can help with freshwater and saltwater aquariums, 50, 75, 90 and 120+ gallon tanks, aquarium stands, terrariums, reptile enclosures, filters, pumps and lighting equipment.
Before transportation, fish or reptiles should be removed from the tank and placed in suitable temporary containers. Water, rocks, decorations and other heavy objects should also be removed.
Fish tanks should never be transported full of water. The additional weight and movement of the water can place significant stress on the glass and seams.
Moving Fish Safely
Fish can be transported separately in suitable containers or fish bags. For longer moves, temperature and oxygen levels should be considered.
If you need a new aquarium, filters, pumps, transport supplies or fish, Big Al’s Aquarium Supercentres offers aquarium equipment, freshwater and marine fish, plants and other aquatic supplies.
Moving Reptiles and Terrariums
We can also transport terrariums and enclosures used for snakes, geckos, bearded dragons, turtles and other reptiles.
Before moving, the animal should be secured separately. Heat lamps, UVB lights, thermostats, rocks and decorations should be removed and packed separately.
For reptiles, terrariums, heating equipment, feeders and habitat supplies, visit All Reptiles, a specialty reptile store serving Toronto and the GTA.
