Fish Transport Bags & Aquarium Fish Bags

Whether you're moving fish between aquariums, rehoming fish, selling or trading aquarium fish, or preparing fish for transport, having the right fish transport bags makes the job much easier.

At Aquaholics Online, we stock a wide range of fish transport bags and aquarium fish bags in different sizes and pack quantities. Our range includes square-bottom stand-up bags suitable for transporting aquarium fish from small tropical species through to larger fish.

Choose from mini, small, medium and large fish bags, with packs available for occasional aquarium hobbyists as well as breeders, fish sellers and regular fish transport.

Choose the right fish transport bags

Not sure which fish bag you need? The size of the fish and the number of fish you regularly transport will help determine the best option.

Mini Fish Bags

Our mini fish bags are a practical option for smaller aquarium fish and species that don't require a larger transport bag.

Small Fish Bags

Small fish transport bags are suitable for many smaller tropical fish and general aquarium transport. They are a useful size for hobbyists, breeders and fishkeepers who regularly move smaller fish.

Medium Fish Bags

Medium fish bags are a versatile choice for general aquarium fish transport. Available in different pack quantities, they are suitable for hobbyists, breeders, aquarium stores and fishkeepers who regularly move fish.

Large Fish Bags

Large fish transport bags provide additional room for larger aquarium fish and are useful when a larger bag is required for safe handling and transport.

Square-bottom fish transport bags

Many of our fish transport bags feature a square-bottom, stand-up design.

The square base allows the bag to stand upright when placed into a suitable transport container and makes the bags easier to fill and handle.

The design also helps provide a more practical shape for transporting aquarium fish compared with a flat-bottom bag.

What are fish transport bags used for?

Fish transport bags are useful for many aquarium situations, including:

• Moving fish between aquariums
• Transporting newly purchased fish
• Rehoming aquarium fish
• Selling or trading fish
• Transporting fish to aquarium clubs and shows
• Moving fish during an aquarium relocation
• Transporting fish between breeders and hobbyists
• Preparing fish for suitable live-fish transport

Aquarium fish should always be handled carefully during transport. Consider the distance, temperature, oxygen requirements and species being transported when preparing fish for a journey.

How to choose the right fish bag size

Choosing the right size depends on the fish you are transporting, how many fish are being transported and how much room is required for water and air or oxygen.

For smaller fish, a mini or small fish bag may be suitable. Medium bags provide a versatile option for many common aquarium fish, while larger fish may require a larger transport bag.

If you're unsure which size is best, consider the size and number of fish being transported rather than simply choosing the largest bag available.

How many fish bags do I need?

Aquaholics Online stocks fish transport bags in a range of pack quantities.

Smaller packs are ideal for aquarium hobbyists who only transport fish occasionally, while larger packs are useful for breeders, aquarium stores, fish sellers and hobbyists who regularly move fish.

Buying a larger pack also means you'll have spare fish bags available when you need them.

Tips for transporting aquarium fish

When preparing fish for transport, minimise handling and avoid unnecessary stress.

Use suitable aquarium water and place the fish carefully into the transport bag. Leave sufficient space above the water and consider appropriate oxygenation and temperature control, particularly for longer transport periods.

Secure the bag properly and place it upright inside a suitable transport container. Protect fish from excessive heat, cold and direct sunlight during transport.

For courier or long-distance live-fish transport, always check the requirements of your chosen carrier and use appropriate packaging and oxygenation.
