big bags are fine. bags are how fish are shipped. put in water just twice the depth
of the fish. squirt in amquel. blow bag up with air and rubber band it shut full of
air over the water. then put them into box so bag doesnt roll. just make sure they
are not left in the sun. large fish need 1 bag per fish. get em out of bag into
water when getting them home. how you going to quarantine new fish? Ingrid

Was offered quite a few (30 to 40 estimate on quanity in pond) koi
that was in a pond on the property of this persons house they just
bought. Its a small pond, above ground, but a lot of the koi are huge
18" plus and there is also a bunch of various other sizes as well. All
this is in a pond of perhaps 24" deep and 4' x 10 feet in
size.........They want the fish gone so they can get rid of the pond
so what would be a good way to haul them home.

I have some pretty heavy inflatable plastic bags used for filling
spaces in shipping cartons etc (just like the baggies they put fish in
in stores only heavier and larger, perhaps10 gal capacity or more)

Fish would have to be hauled about 40 miles. Would these large plastic
bags be suitable or would I be better off buying a few rubber maid
trash cans? Or perhaps some ice chests.
