How many fry? What will you be transporting them in? I would suggest a heater and an air pump for starters.

As long as they are packed correctly you will be fine. If you transport them in a styro cooler that will preserve the heat.
Just keep them at a constant warm temperature and they should be fine. Remember, when fish are shipped they survive for periods far longer than 6 hours. If you are bringing them back in a bag, bring along a small bucket or container just in case the bag begins to leak. That way you won't lose any fish. Good luck to you.
I usually use a cooler or a bucket with a battery-powered air pump. Turn up the heat in the car and 6 hours won't be a problem.
As had already been said, as long as they are packed correctly, they'll be fine. They can handle 6 hours... don't sweat it. Keep in mind, properly packed fish can handle being shipped overnight. So you shouldn't have a problem, unless the seller packs them poorly.

Do you know how big the fry are, how many he's getting, and how much water he's going to have in the container?
