Packing fish

[FuEl]

Hi guys..anyone knows if fish the size of damsels can survive in a bag with pure oxygen for 27 hrs? Only looking at maybe 2 damsels for 1.5 liters of water. Any optimal air/water ratio I should take note of?

wad type of fish? from where to where?

Clownfish..from Aus to Sg..but they will be in the bag for 27 hrs as I will be collecting them a day before as I am unable to pick them up on the day itself because the shop will not be open so early.

hmmm. wad time the shop closes and wad time ur flight?

[FuEl]

My flight is in early morning even before the shop opens and it's the only flight that I can take to meet my schedule. The shop closes 4pm the day before so that's the latest I can collect the fish. Oh well, probably just have to put the fish in air-conditioning to lower their O2 consumption.

pack more O2 in the bag , best if u can seperate them

i've seen fish arriving @farms frm other countries which took hrs including transit to arrive here

27hrs sound long but i think that shipment took almost the same duration

+-+- , (eh if yr fish dun come aft mi ah )the smaller fishes had almost 0 DOA ,

while the bigger ones most of them didnt make it due to the bag size, most prob too stressed out.

try to wrap the lower portion of the bag wif newspaper, dunno y but most of the fish r packed in such.

should not be a problem lah....some shipments take much longer than that to get to sg. I think aprox ratio should be 1/3 water and 2/3 02. Probably more important to not feed the fish for a day or two before packing....

Ok..will tell the people not to.. don't want a bag of fish poop.

shd nt be a prob....less water n more O2....nt only dere will be fish poop....the fish will die oso....

usually fish will arrive within 24 hours. unless there is a transit flight. or flight delayed. mayb u can use anaesthetic. this way they will not use too much O2 and also poo lesser. pack it in a bigger bag with reasonable amount of water and more oxygen. keep it cold. mayb can but some carbon in the water.(put the carbon in one of those coffee strainer)
