hey guys, how long can a fish or coral survive in a bag
theres this pet store that sells SW fish, but its in NH which is like 2 hours away from where i live.
 
Ive had a fish in a bag for about 4 hrs before being able to put it in the tank. So the 2 hr drive shouldnt be bad. Take along a cooler that will help keep the bag at a stable temp.

+1 Brian....get one of those coolers. Even a styrofoam one. I have one that my LFS gave me months ago and I've been reusing it for fish transportation...granted, I only travel 20 min.
 
Keep the bag cool enough, yet not too cold! Styro coolers work well! Fosters and smith gives them to us every time we go up and buy fish or corals... they come in very handy! Also, if they add oxygen into the bag, and have enough water, they ship fish and corals from all around the world... I've had no problem with getting fish at Fosters, and going the 2 1/2 hour drive back, and stopping in Wausau for a few hours along the way home... Keep the temperature right and your good!
