100 x Small Fish Transport Bags – 17 x 42cm

Keep a generous supply of fish bags ready for breeding, selling, trading and transporting aquarium fish with this 100-pack of Small Fish Transport Bags.

Measuring 17 x 42cm when laid flat, these clear fish bags provide a versatile option for smaller aquarium fish that need more room than our Mini bags without requiring the additional width of a Medium bag.

The square-bottom design allows the bag to stand upright when opened, making it easier to fill, handle and position inside a suitable fish transport container.

With 100 bags per pack, this option is particularly useful for aquarium breeders, regular fish sellers, aquarium clubs and hobbyists who transport fish more frequently.

How to use fish transport bags

Handle fish gently and minimise unnecessary stress when preparing them for transport.

Place the fish carefully into the bag with suitable aquarium water and leave sufficient space above the water for air or oxygen. The amount of water, air or oxygen required will depend on the species, number of fish and expected transport duration.

Secure the top of the bag firmly and place it upright inside an appropriate transport box or insulated container.

Keep fish protected from direct sunlight, excessive heat, cold and unnecessary movement during transport.

For longer journeys or courier transport, additional oxygenation, insulation and appropriate protective packaging may be required.

Important: Always consider the species, fish size, temperature requirements and expected transport time when preparing live aquarium fish for transport.

Which fish transport bag size should I choose?

Aquaholics Online stocks four main fish bag sizes:

Mini – 12 x 35cm flat
A compact option for smaller aquarium fish.

Small – 17 x 42cm flat
A versatile size offering additional room compared with Mini bags.

Medium – 24 x 36cm flat
Provides greater width and capacity when additional room is required.

Large – 47 x 24cm flat
A larger transport bag for situations where additional bag size is required.

The best bag size depends on the species, size and number of fish being transported, along with the expected transport duration.

50 or 100 Small Fish Bags?

Choose the 50-pack if you transport fish occasionally and simply want to keep a supply of bags available.

Choose this 100-pack if you breed, sell, trade or transport fish more regularly and want twice as many bags on hand.

For higher-volume use, larger bulk packs are also available.

Frequently asked questions

How many bags are included?

This pack contains 100 Small Fish Transport Bags.

What size are the bags?

Each bag measures 17 x 42cm when laid flat.

What does 17 x 42cm flat mean?

This is the measurement of the unfilled bag when laid flat. When the bag is opened, the square-bottom design creates a base, so its filled dimensions will differ from its flat dimensions.

What fish are Small Fish Transport Bags suitable for?

They are suitable for a range of appropriately sized aquarium fish. The correct bag size depends on the species, fish size, number of fish and expected transport duration.

What's the difference between Mini and Small Fish Bags?

Mini Fish Transport Bags measure 12 x 35cm flat, while Small Fish Transport Bags measure 17 x 42cm flat. The Small size provides additional room when a Mini bag isn't large enough.

What's the difference between Small and Medium Fish Bags?

Small bags measure 17 x 42cm flat, while Medium bags measure 24 x 36cm flat. Medium bags provide considerably more width and may be preferable when additional capacity is required.

Should I buy 50 or 100 bags?

The 50-pack is ideal for occasional use. This 100-pack is better suited to breeders, regular fish sellers and hobbyists who transport fish more frequently.

Can these bags be used for shipping live fish?

They can form part of appropriate live-fish transport packaging. Longer-distance or courier transport may require oxygenation, insulation, temperature control, protective packaging and compliance with your chosen carrier's requirements.

Aquaholics Online stocks Small Fish Transport Bags in multiple pack quantities, making it easy to choose the amount that suits how frequently you transport fish.
