Okay I really have NO IDEA where this post belongs, so mods feel free to move it to wherever.

My question is how to bring fish back to the LFS...I'm guessing with bags like how they come when you buy them originally, but I dont wanna mess it up so by the time we get there the fish is completely stressed out. I'm just not sure how to do it. Please help, I need to bring the little guy back tomorrow.

Yeah, ziploc bags would do. Maybe a new, clean tupperware/gladware/similar container. *shrugs* I tend to save an LFS bag or two in case I need to move the fishies around.

Yea I wish I had thought to ask for one while I was in PetCo TODAY. grrr. I was thinking tupperware or gladware, but then it might be difficult for them to acclimate him again. Cant u picture a giant tupperware container floating in the tanks? And then I have to wait to get the container back. Big Ziplocs seem like a good option...any other thoughts people?

I just use a zip lock bag as well. You could use pretty much any bag that will securely hold water, from a bread bag, to a zip lock, to ?. Just make sure the fish has a little room!

I've used a small kritter keeper, but the best thing would be to get a few bags from the lfs. I bought some bags on the shipping supplies section of http://www.aquabid.com/cgi-bin/auction/auction.cgi?shipping as well, something to think about for future use. Big bags are very handy when moving around fish between tanks as well.
