Bagging Up Fish
- Thread starter M|L
- Start date
I read this post earlier today and was just going to let it go, but since it's back up........ what exactly does........"let's just say it's very similar to shipping a fish" mean?
If I'm moving fish I like to use a cooler. I saw one on a thread here that had a battery operated air pump attached. (I stole the idea)

I usually line mine with a bag. Pour in the water from a foot or two above to get air mixed in well. Add fish and they're good for 2-3 hours. And the temp holds. The air pump at all times is an excellent idea though.
yea I definatly agree as well with the airpump. I moved mine in buckets with one of my haltertops on top so it would stop them from hangin in my front seat while I was driving. but that isnt water tight ehh..but now Im interested... what exactly areeee you doing with the fish if your "kinda shipping" them?
Crating is the only answer to the problem of being stepped on (300-500 psi easily). Now next day delivery of the "fish" is going to be really expensive. Go the standard styrofoam fish box method and label 'wild exotic illegal fish' so nobody will step on it.
