Transporting Fish in Bag

[heelllooo]

Hello,

This week I'm gonna have to transport about 50 juvenile Apisto Borelli for about 2h to some LFS. They size around 3cm.

I was planning on using 5L plastic bag, with 5 fishs per bag, 1/3 water 2/3 air and I have no way of pumping pure oxygen into the bags.

Do you think it's a good plan ? Any precaution I should take ?

Sorry if I didn't post in the good topic.

I think it sounds fine as long as you don’t blow air into the bags with your mouth.
-But i’m no expert on the matter.

To get a certain pressure in the bag, grab it quickly in the upper third and hold it tight. It should be plump. Twist it close, rubber it, done.

If you live in usa you can get a 5 gallon pail for a few dollars; the white ones from home depot are 'food safe'; that should be plenty of water for the trip.
