Hmm the airline idea is pretty neat. Has anyone ever tried bottle shipping? I read it on another website that you could put the fish into water, gatorade, and etc. bottles instead of bags? I thought that was a pretty good idea?

I have received fish in bottles. They made it in good shape.
But it seems to me that bumping into those hard plastic sides would hurt. I prefer breather bags.

 If so I will unsticky this one. I don't know though most likely I thought it was strange that there wasn't one already. |

As usual my experiences are different. I was forced to carry my entire stock of fish sometimes when shifting. So I carried them in empty paint drums. I would cut of a length of polyethylene tube a little larger in diameter than the drum, and couple of feet longer, tie the bottom end and insert it into the drum, pour in water an inch less than the drum height, make an air-head with the rest of the tube. If the distance would be long then I would change the air-head some time, by opening and re-tying it. That way I could use more water and not worry about the bag bursting, or the fishes getting thrown at the walls.
You make the air-head by pulling the top portion of the poly-bag by pinching two ends this causes the two faces to come together; and then keeping the tension gather the entire top together and twist it and the air inside the bag remains there.
