How long can I keep inverts bagged?

[LucasRe]

Hi,

I am looking at getting some inverts delivered to my office - there's a chance that they may be delivered early (mid morning) and not get taken home until 5 or 6pm. Is this a reasonable time frame for keeping a creature in a bag? I am looking at some peppermint shrimp, a few hermit crabs and some snails. Also, how would fish go with this time frame? I can keep them all in an esky at night, office is air conditioned and wont get too hot.

Thanks,
Lucas

Depends on how well they’re bagged. If bagged separately, with plenty of air and held at a good temp, they’ll be fine.
