Hello,
I made a trip to Calgary this weekend to try and transport some new fish back home to BC. I was excited to find a Silver Arowana and Glass Knifefish at Big Al's and someother fish store by there. Dont remember the name. I have had bad luck transporting small fish in the past, but felt the need to try again.
Alas, this morning I woke up to both of them dead. ( Two other larger fish I had purchased are still alive) I assume the trama from the trip, temp changes etc was to much for the little babies to make it the 4-5 hour drive in the car... it makes me sad that I cant get any cool fish in my home location, and importing them seems to be impossible. I have tried other fish with no luck ... Rope fish, Long nose gar, etc ... All of which babies ... all of which dead.
How do u transport your small fish around? I would assume most of u dont need to travel my distance, but any ideas how to make these fish live?
I used fish travel containers, with lots of water and air... The car was warm, and the water didnt go below 74F.
