Aquarium Advice Regular
How long have you kept fish in a bag? I need to pick up some fish today but the store is about 4 hours from home? Will they make it and what can I do to ensure they stay alive?
pcock said:I'm not here solely for fish but I have found some fish I would like in my travels. I do have a cooler with me. Should I ask the store to bag all fish separate or lump them all in one big bag?
pcock said:Thanks for the quick replies guys? One more question is there any value in bag buddies or anything like that? Or should I just save my money?
I know the name is hilarious!!! They are dissolving pellets that are supposed to help reduce stress in fish being transported. They supposedly keep ammonia levels down and oxygenate water.
Skip it and save your money for road trip snacks like Slim Jim's.

I once had someone tell me I didn't take care in packing our fish because I don't use bag buddies. I looked at my oxygen tank and laughed.
