Time of fish in a bag

[roydooms]

How long can you keep a discus in a bag? Is an hour and a half ok? Thanks.

And hour and a half is perfectly fine. They're in their bag when they're sent to the fish store much much longer.

I agree, up to 2 hours should be no issues.

The air pumped in to the bag is almost pure O2 when coming from the farms.

Thank you. I just bought 5 more discus

Coupla ?s about your discus tank. What mates do you have in there, what substrate, and any inverts.
I am looking at setting up this GINORMOUS tank that I scored a super sweet deal on thanks to CL as either discus or SW, but I am freshie at heart...

i was at a cichlid aution recently and those poor fish were in bags for 12+ hours sitting on a table. (discus included)

i think most fish are hardier than we give them credit for.

12 hours, not a big deal.
But 12 days in a. Tank with improper conditions is a lot different than 12 hours in a bag with pure O2

When u order them online they are in a bag for 2-3 days so they can go for a little bit
