Thinking that fish can survive hours bagged, I got a few more bits from town before I took them home.
After 30 minutes they were upside down, so I rushed home as quick as I could.
When I got home they were basically dead, no movement at all.
I stuck them in my tank and they just dropped to the bottom, no movement.
I stuck an air hose under their noses, after a few minutes i tried to touch them and they moved a little before not moving at all again.
I repeated this a few times every minute or so.
They are all fine now, thank goodness.
I have heard of fish lasting days bagged, so is that wrong.
can fish only last short amounts of time bagged.
note: that the bag was punctured, so I had them put another bag on it but I did not tie it.
could this have somehow effected the pressure of the air and not allowed the water to absorb the air as it should?
