if your house is fenced, coyotes cant get in and if they are as large as you say they are.. racoons wont be able to eat em. plus you'll need a pond that is deep enough where they cannot be fished out.

just drain half the tank water and throw that into the new tank and follow what eatman +guy above him said

if you dont do the above, you can risk PH shock but for older/larger fish who arnt sick/weak are usually ok but theres always the chance. otherwise you'll have to accimilate each fish slowly.

ie. small fish u buy from a store come in a bag, you float bag in new tank to match temp then every 10 mins you add in a bit of the water from tank into bag. then after a few times you put him in new tank.
