Hello, I am curious on if fish would need extra oxygen if they were transported over a 2 hour time, in a bag presumably.
 
It's always best to add oxygen. Really depends on the fish and how heavy you pack it. Airgas sells oxygen tanks for pretty cheap. What kind of fish is it, how big, and how big of a bag and box?
 
On-line takes 24hrs at minimum so in a good size bag, should be just fine. Temp acclimatization, first, then open the bag.

Bigger fish, bigger bag, more water the better.
 
I recently got one of these off amazon for like $20 or something. It has a rechargeable battery and can also run plugged in

Has 2 outlets for air lines, different modes (intermittent, constant, etc..) seems well made.. they have smaller/cheaper version as well..
