I have the fun task of moving 15 fish tomorrow and Im wondering what you guys would use to transport your finned friends and why.....I have a range of fish from 2" up to a 5" tang..... I have the means and supplies to do any of the above....I should mention that the whole process will likely take about 7 hours

Buckets with battery bubblers for sure.

Do you have access to O2?

Small cigarette plug power invertor to power a 110v air pump?


Dont forget to crank the heat up

I'd do bags with lots of air space if I had the choice, pack the bags in coolers and be done with it. I believe this actually works better at storing oxygen than buckets even without pure O2. 7 hours isn't that long, wouldn't bother with heaters or air bubblers.

I've used buckets for 3 hours, fish died...

Wonder if you could rent a tank from a medical gas place.

I've kept fish and corals in a cooler for 2 days using an inverter powering a heater and powerhead. Might be an option for you.

50hrs for a cleaner shrimp and a neon goby in bags with oxygen for me...

I got a power inverter with 2 plugs. One for heater and one for a bubbler or powerhead. Let me know if you want to borrow it mang.
