Moving the aquarium full of dwarfs

[loyalhero90]

I know that dwarfs take a lot of dedication and if leaving town a friend should come over and feed the dwarfs but I still have to ask:

1).How would you transport the aquarium full of dwarfs to a new location? Such as you suddenly had to move to a new house- I am not talking about a planned move but something like -you just got an eviction notice and had 2 days to move out- type of scenario? How would you transport them? What type of containers do they need for transporation that would provide the less stress? What type of environment would you need to set up until the move was complete?

2). Someone just died in the family and you have to go to their funeral in another state for the weekend. You don't have anyone else to take care of the dwarfs (i.e don't trust neighbors and friends are busy) so what would you do? I read on one website that you could drop brine shrimp eggs into the aquarium and let them feed off of that for a few days or get a mechanical feeder. Would this work?

Thanks

Moving to a new house, same city, is pretty easy with a dwarf tank, even a 10g can be carried to the car after removing all but the minimum required amount of water to keep the seahorses submerged. Refill after getting to your destination.
As for question #2, I wouldn't allow it to happen. I already have sufficient people lined up so that I wouldn't have that many unable to do something to help me out.
Brine shrimp cysts should never come in contact with your tank water, and even after hatching don't let that water contact the tank water and rinse the brine thoroughly.
The risk of bacteria transference is too great to ignore.
Brine shrimp cyst empty or unhatched can lodge in the digestive tract causing problems leading to death.
As far as I know there is no mechanical feeder to feed live foods such as gut loaded bbs.
