Hi Steve i think the larger fish need a 500 or more litre tank for transport with oxygen as well . anyway we are going to fix it.

personally i think that its nitrites. Emirs fish were ok after getting them home, but his nitrites went over 5ppm and plus he has very low DO in his tank. Then the redness appeared.

I guess even if you have 02 saturation the amount of water is important in transport because of the ammonia.
