I was thinking of ways to pack fish. Then I thought about people using air pumps for oxygen. I've seen it done but I'm saying is if for a fish packing air pump? That would be awesome. Like a high powered air pump with nozzles to pump oxygen? Pretty sure only things are oxygen tanks.

my lfs pumps o2 into the bag before they close it off with a rubberband when they sell fish.
 
it works fine with a regular air pump . it does work a lot better when you have a high gallon pump. i used a tetra ap150 for packing fish. pretty the better the pump the better it will work.

Ya that's what I was experimenting with. I have about 10 different air pumps and I was playing around with inflation times. My hagen elite 800 for some reason is way stronger than my other elite 800 and its stronger than my tetra whisper 80. So my current strongest air pump inflated the large 18"x8" bag at around 20 seconds. Lol I timed it. I was curious if this could work before I say, ship fish.
