How do you prepare your fish for shows?

[numinous]

And how do you transport them? In bags? Pails? What about changes in water parms? heaters? I'm planning on taking a few fish to Atlanta ACA and need to find out all I can b4 I go.

Thanks Roberto. Great stuff. Do any of you do any sort of special feeding regimens over the weeks or days before the show? Do any of you try to get the water parms of the show buidling and try to match it for a time period to acclimate the fish before you show them?

Got it already, thanks. Just wondered if people actually went o the trouble of finding out the water parms before they go. Do the organizers actually got test pH, hardness, etc before the show so they can give that information?
Thanks again for your help Roberto.
