Situation with fish being shippedB**Urgent**

[jschall]

The bags can be used for as long as you can maintain temp, they don't 'run out' of the ability to release CO2 or admit O2. From the manuf. :
"During tests, fishes, both freshwater and marine, have survived for one month and more in shipment, including on successive flights and land transportation. However, there is no uniform answer as to how long individual shipments will survive using Breathing Bags. There are many variables. Under a wide range of conditions it should be weeks for successful shipments. It is suggested that tests be conducted at the user's facility to determine the proper parameters for successful use of these bags. "

The issue there is that ammonia will build up in the bag, with no bacteria colony to break it down. I suppose there are probably slow-dissolving water conditioners or something to help with that...
This is all sort of outside the realm of what the OP was asking about, though, since most fish are shipped in plastic bags with oxygen added.

The question was asked, what size fish are they? Pbass are pretty hardy fish they will do fine if they are 2.0in or more.
I generally float the bag in the tank they are going in for 30 mins without opening it. Then open the bag with them into a bucket,scoop them out and right into the tank.
