Hello everyone I hope you are well. Here's a video about how to properly bag aquarium fish for transport. Boring subject I know, but very important if you need to move fish over long distances.
Have a local fish shop looking to buy some of my babies. Wasn't sure of the best way to transport them. Especially like the way you floated the bag. Such a simple thing but very helpful. Now to catch all the little hillstreams lol
This is gonna be very useful for me as I will be bringing home wild caught specimens I have caught and I want to make sure I could safely get them home. When Im buying fish, applies for both fresh and saltwater fish, I usually ask for either of the two; either they be placed in the biggest bag available so they can have ample space for swimming to prevent ammonia from accumulating too fast or have the fish be bagged individually or by species. For example, tangs will be bagged individually if theyre different or in the same bag if theyre the same. It helps the fish be not as stressed compared to if they were in the same bag, cramped together. Its a lot heavier in terms of weight but its worth the fish’s safety.
@@josiecroix the fish lost a lot of colour when they arrived and looked almost dead but bounced back the next day. Unfortunately my Red Tailed Shark has since died but this was months afyer
Thanks, that is very interesting. I have never had to bad but perhaps some practice. Many shops seem to use small bags. Where I go now he uses large bags.
This helped me alot thanks i work at pet shop and the way they teach me is way hard to do. But this is way easier plus my boss sayed i don't have to do it similar like they do it. So long if bag is sealed nicely. Then i am goid to go.
I need to take a fish on a plane, but it’ll need to be in the bag for longer than six hours. Would reopening and retying the bag during the layover be enough to give it more oxygen or would I need to do something else?
I am transporting my Betta with me when I move but it will be about a 13 hour flight, how can I bag them safely for this time? How could I pack them with 100% oxygen?
I had my rocket Gar in a bag for two days until his tank cycled I didn't want to but my other tanks he would've killed my other fish or hurt a good number of them
There aren't any available where I live and the ones that are available are way too expensive for what they are, I have been looking but nothing is coming into the UK
This was so helpful! I’ll be transporting some fish soon and had no idea what to do. Thank you so much.

My albino and pepper Cory cats are going to homes now so I needed this!

Thanks for the video as I’m getting ready for a big move. I was looking for a video a few weeks ago to no avail. Thanks again for the video
No problem, thanks for watching and I'm glad it's useful
I found this video quite useful!
I'm about to transport my fish (6 tanks) about 4 hours away.
I'm wondering if I should get oxygen tabs for the bags.
I'm about to move too! How'd it go with your fish?
Love the detail! you really have helped me with this vid thank you so much
This video is actually very relevant to me now because I do need to move my fish soon.
Great to hear
How'd it go?

@@waheedsaeed5978 Thank you so much for letting me know! I'm glad your fishies are ok. :)
RIP Red Tailed Shark.

Yup most small fish will be fine in a small bag for a good while
Thank you for this video 😀
Thank you that worked a treat!

Nice techniques. What is that clown fish like one in the background at 8:30?
Thank you very much
Thanks for the tips thinking of starting some breeding
No problem, if you're shipping I suggest using oxygen rather than air and definitely heat packs
Very usefull....definitely gonna subscribe you
Which bag brands are you using
If i add hornworth in the bag for 10 guppies will hornworth provide little bit of oxygen
Not really
Can you use a cable tie instead of knotting or using elastic bands?
Yes
The orb at 5:29 😯
👻😱
I put 2guppies in and medium sized bag then how many hours it will survive
I am transporting my Betta with me when I move but it will be about a 13 hour flight, how can I bag them safely for this time? How could I pack them with 100% oxygen?
Better explain
Would you ever triple bag?
For extra spikey fish yes
I had my rocket Gar in a bag for two days until his tank cycled I didn't want to but my other tanks he would've killed my other fish or hurt a good number of them
Wow that's a long time
@@EverydayAquarist Once saw them stay up till 13 days in a bag
It's time for you to get corals man !

Last!
but what if the plastic is punctured on the flight?

Great video with excellent information.
