Transporting fish...

[silent_thunder]

Within the next 6 t0 8 weeks I will be transporting all my discus plus all I own LOL...big haul 800 miles. I figure a 12 hour drive...

I figure a few hours setting up tank number one plus another few hours for tank number 2 <55gallon>

I know there is a pill I can add to each bag to *calm them*...would that be advisable?

Also...oxygen...I have heard people BLOW air into their bags which I am not sure its the right thing to do for that length of time...

Any ideas would sure help! I kinda want them ALL to live LOL...wait....that ain`t funny!

Thx

Make sure you fast your fish for 48 hours then bag them in Oxygen and bag buddies. Don't just blow into the bag get some Oxygen this way you can setup your tanks right. Your fish could stay in the bags like this for 24 hours

Would breather bags work?

Thanks Dan, Those were the ones I was looking at...

Do I use pure oxygen?

How many per bag? anyone?

Hi there, Daniel... I'd say one per bag. I've never received a shipped Discus with more than one per bag.

(Or you might be able to fit 2 in Rox's old slipper).

Depends on the size of the bag...I normally don't even use 1 per bag for small 4" bags, but rather mix about 1 gallon of water to 3 tabs. When I use 8" bags I put 1 tab per bag on large fish.
