Shipping small catfish
I'm having to downsize because of a recent move. How would I go about shipping my Microsynodontis safely? Overnight in a styrobox? Should I buy breather bags or just fill normal poly bags with air? How many fish should I put per bag?

Re: Shipping small catfish
Regular fish bags are fine. You can bag the fish individually and they will be fine if shipped overnight in a styro. Breather bags are not good as the Synos can poke holes thought them with their spines.
