How do I transport fish for a 25 min drive?

[Luka]

So how do I transport two maroon clowns for a 25 min drive. Would putting them in a bucket filled with 1 gallon of water be okay?? And should I use the water currently in the aquarium? I don't have baggies like the LFS.

Thanks,

Luka

Bucket is fine. It is a short drive. Use your water and acclimate to the tank.

Yea I have one of those cooler things. How much should I fill it up??

I have a smaller rectangular cooler that I keep a heating pad and pillow in. I place the LFS bag in the cooler, prop it up with the pillow, and turn the heating pad on the second lowest setting if the weather is cooler than optimal.

Fill it within an inch to the top
On your way there leave the lid off so the inside can warm up to the temp of the vehicle.

I just carry the good zip lock bags quart n gallons put what ever in em double bag it then also carry a starafom box I got from lfs in my car all the time so if I find something when I'm out I'm prepared.

You should go out and buy an overpriced Yeti tumbler to transport them!! I mean names are everything in this hobby now.

The bucket will work fine, if you don't have a lid you can use cling wrap.
