Auction FAQ
What To Bag Your Item In
Bagging your fish for the auction
Bagging your fish for the auction
We request that all live items whether it be fish plants or invertebrates, be placed in a proper aquatic fish transport bag like you would get from a local pet store. If re-using a bag from a store we request that it has no printing or previous marking on it as to not confuse the auctioneer. Buckets with lids may be used with larger animals.

Bagging your fish for the auction
For best results a good rule of thumb is to have 1/3 water to 2/3 air in the bag as this provides the best transport for most fish. If bagging fish such as plecostomus double bagging may be necessary to avoid puncture.
