Why choose the 250-pack?

If you regularly breed, sell or trade aquarium fish, purchasing transport bags in larger quantities can be more convenient than repeatedly ordering smaller packs.

The 250-pack provides a useful bulk quantity without stepping all the way up to a 500-pack.

It's particularly suitable for:

• Aquarium breeders

• Regular fish sellers

• Fish clubs and societies

• Aquarium hobbyists with multiple tanks

• Fishkeepers who frequently trade or rehome fish

• Breeding and grow-out operations

• Anyone wanting to keep a substantial supply of fish bags available

For occasional use, our 50- or 100-packs may be more suitable. For higher-volume requirements, consider our 500-pack of Small Fish Transport Bags.

Why choose Small Fish Transport Bags?

Our Small Fish Transport Bags measure 17 x 42cm flat and sit between the Mini and Medium sizes in the Aquaholics fish bag range.

They provide additional room compared with our 12 x 35cm Mini bags, while remaining narrower than our 24 x 36cm Medium bags.

This makes the Small size a versatile option when transporting appropriately sized smaller aquarium fish.

The correct bag size will depend on the species, size and number of fish being transported as well as the expected transport duration.

Common uses for Small Fish Transport Bags

Keep these bags on hand for:

• Selling aquarium fish

• Fish breeding

• Trading fish with other hobbyists

• Rehoming aquarium fish

• Moving fish between tanks

• Transporting newly purchased fish

• Moving juvenile fish

• Aquarium club sales and events

• Fish shows

• Aquarium relocations

• Moving fish between breeding and grow-out systems

How to use fish transport bags

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

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

Secure the bag firmly and place it upright inside a suitable transport box or insulated container.

Protect fish from direct sunlight, excessive heat, cold and unnecessary movement while in transit.

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

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

Frequently asked questions

How many fish bags are included?

This pack contains 250 Small Fish Transport Bags.

What size are the bags?

Each bag measures 17 x 42cm when laid flat.

What does flat size mean?

The 17 x 42cm measurement refers to the unfilled bag when laid flat. When opened, the square-bottom design creates a base, so the dimensions of the filled bag will be different.

Who is the 250-pack best suited to?

The 250-pack is particularly useful for aquarium breeders, regular fish sellers, aquarium clubs and hobbyists who transport fish frequently and want a larger supply of bags available.

What fish can I transport in these bags?

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

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

Mini bags measure 12 x 35cm flat, while Small bags measure 17 x 42cm flat. The Small size provides additional width and length when more room is required.

Should I buy the 250 or 500 pack?

Choose the 250-pack if you use fish bags regularly but don't need the largest bulk quantity. If you're a higher-volume breeder or seller, the 500-pack may provide a more convenient supply.

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 suitable oxygenation, insulation, temperature control, protective packaging and compliance with your chosen carrier's requirements.
