How do you transport fish?

[Zeaqua]

Hi all! On occasion, after certain fish have bred, I bring the offspring to my LFS. Usually, I just use a large Tupperware to transport them, but I was wondering what all of you do! I feel bags might be a tad more professional, but it would definitely be a waste, especially for only a 20 mile or so drive., although this November, I’m traveling to the All Aquarium Catfish con, so if you have a method of transporting fish over longer distances, those would definitely be of use as well!

I use a cooler half full of water. I used to have a dedicated cooler that had a hole drilled in the top for air line tubing to go through so I could add an air stone for longer trips.

For a 15minute trip to the LFS: I bag up my fish with an ammonia pad in the bag, then put them in an insulated bag with plenty of packing paper/insulator materials.

I take my fish to the LFS in the same way I bring them home; fish bags.

for a 20 mile drive, ziplocks would work just fine. largest size possible. supported in a box or cooler. covered with something to prevent temp shifts. it should only be a trip of 1/2 hour? depending on where you live of course. not going to have time to create much ammonia or other such. fish travel in bags for several days. so, no big deal
