Hey everyone,
Well i have wondered for a while but have always forgot to ask. Heres my question. How or is it even possible to keep fish alive for an 8 hour trip from North carolina to Georgia (by car)? I tried a while back to do it but the 4 fish died. But the 2 craw fish made it. The fish are very small just over an inch and the 2 types of fish that they are is some type of Darter and i think the other type is a dace. They are coming out of my grandparents creek and will not have any other tank mates except what comes from that creek. Can they possibly make a 8 hour trip? thanks for all help.
 
Yes it is possible. You will need a battery powered air pump and a seasoned sponge filter. Another possibiliy is to take them to a LFS and bag your fish with 100% oxygen. This is how fish are shipped across the world.
