BarryToucher Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 So I'm going to pick up 3 juvenile Hongis today from a friend who lives around 15 mins away.. They are going a 2 foot until they get a bit bigger then I'll be getting a 4foot+ for them! My question to you good members of QLDAF is "do I need any additives to transport them?" I.e a teaspoon of salt Or something like a stress guard water treatment with aloe? Or should I just be good in catching them and putting them in some ziplock bags then just the normal accumulation process? Just have never got fish from anyone before, just lfs and online.. Cheers guys Nate =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishfish Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 I went from greenbank to Springfield to yamanto with no addatives they survived fine. Just opened the bag twice on the way for some fresh air in the bag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie_JYB Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 If you know how to snatch and tie a bag the fish will last for hours without any additives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panda87 Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 Agree.. We just transported 100+ peacocks over a 4 hour drive and only lost about 10 due to a few poorly tied bags. We did treat with stress guard as a precaution, but we have purchased fish and made the 3 hour drive just with properly tied bags and the pet shop water with no troubles at all. They should be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yodapwnsasmurf Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 Yeah you shouldn't have a problem, a few fish once got sent to Melbourne over the weekend and didn't arrive until day 6, all were still fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
