Re: [GSAS-Member] Albino in a bucket

[Jeff Schulstrom <gobluecichlids@yahoo.com>]

No problem leaving fish in a closed bag for 24 hrs, but leaving em in a 5 
gallon bucket, I have noticed the fishes were starting to gasp on the water 
surface after a few hrs, depends on how many fishes are in it.  It is safer and 
less riskier to use an airstone or sponge filter than having to check on em 
every hr..

So, in tupperwares, were they sealed or not?

Hi

When I collected wild fish in the amazon, we just put them in tupperware 
containers and did water changes 1-2 times a day.  No problems keeping 
them alive and that was for a week at least.

I have also seen folks at the conventions keep them that way as well. 
Some bring airstones and pumps.

I bring tupperware, dechlorinator, and just change water daily.  Or put 
them in breather bags as well.   Most fish shipped take more than a day or 
so and do okay.

Glad you found a solution.
