Transporting Fish

[scootiep]

Hi all, in a few weeks i am transporting 4 clown loaches, 4 Bosemani Rainbows, 4 Neon Rainbows and 4 Schwartzii Corydoras and 1 Julii cory to my 420 litre tank, the journey is around an hour and a half what is the best way to ensure that the fish travel without any distress? are they going to have enough oxygen for the journey? will the water temperature decrease much with the journey?

Any help would be great

Get some bagd from your lfs, and bag them with 1/3 tank water, 2/3 air. Use a cooler for transporting them, this will help to retain heat. Don't feed them for 24 hours before the move, they will produce less waste that way.

Two hours is a short trip, fish that get shipped to your lfs go 24 to 48 hours bagged.

Put only one fish to a bag for best results.
