Bagging Guidelines

Proper Bagging Guidelines for Sellers:

Pull fish from tanks and stop feeding 24 hrs. before bagging.

Bags should contain 1/3 water, 2/3 air and approximately 2/3 fresh safe water added twice, when pulling fish and when bagged.

Please double bag all fish bags.

Plants should be bagged with air and almost no water.

No twist ties or zip lock bags.

Large fish should be bucketed.

Bags and buckets should be labeled with seller number-bag number, fish quantity, sex if known and contact info; all legible.

For emergencies, bags and rubber bands are available for $0.25/bag.

Improperly bagged fish must be rebagged. If the seller cannot be found (or would rather we do it for them), SCAS staff will rebag the item(s). A rebagging fee of $2/bag will be deducted from the proceeds of the seller.

Please keep in mind, some fish might be in these bags for up to 24 hours.
