need help

[tbrock]

i bought 2 new fish about 4 hours ago and after a car accident, i wont be able to put them in the tank until tomorrow. I have some airstones, should i open the bags and put those in over night, or just leave them shut?

I would probably temperature acclimate for a long as you can and put them in the tank. I wouldn't want to leave a fish in the bag overnight.

Well i would, but im now 5 hours away from the tank. I just need to know what my best chance at keeping them alive is.

Your best chance is to try to get them into a bucket and some fresh salt water around them if possible .. If not perhaps sturring the water a bit .... what kind of fish are they......? Since they do ship keep them warm and dark if the above stuff is not able to be reached , I would not let the temp drop too much if possible.... perhaps you are near a wal-mart that you can get a cooler and a filter or an airpump?
You have a 50/50 shot at this point ....
Are you ok tho?

Ouch, I hope both you and your fish end up ok! I would say, keep the temp stable, of course, you posted last night so, hopefully everyone is ok. How are you doing, this morning?
