Glad to see everything worked out! Transporting fish can be so nerve wracking.

release the pleco somwhere it can not be in any wterways in because it is not indijunas. unless u want to keep it, see if u can transport them when the tank is already set up. so there u go i geuuss

Releasing fish back into the wild after being in captivity is against the law, and is considered a very big "No-No" here at MFK for many reasons. It can harm the ecosystem through competition for food and territory, and can cause unnatural levels of predation wiping out indigenous species. Even if it can't get into the waterways, it can still introduce diseases that the local species have no defense against. We love all the crazy varieties of species, and want to keep them around and available.

I think you mean INDIGENOUS versus INDIJUNAS . . .

walmart sells a huge 30-40g igloo cooler. I use mine all the time. Brought some rather large fish home from 250 miles away. Just add some API ammo lock and extra Stress Coat

You have got to be kidding me! Dude, that is the worst advice. You should really do a lot more research before you give any more advice.
