Hi hopefully tomorow I will be getting some apistogramma hongsloi, however the shop is an hour away I'm just wondering what the best way to transport them is? I am going in my car.

A cooler will work as well, any small insulated container will do. For a short term transport get a second fish bag, fill it with warm, not hot water, and add it to the styro or cooler. I've done this plenty with styros of fish in the back of a pickup truck in temps well below freezing, it works out good as long as the styro remains sealed.
