Title: bagging for tomorrow
Post by: Leo on February 05, 2016, 04:01:27 PM

Do you guys bag the fish the night before (tonight) or in the morning?

I Do it in the morning cause I'm normally up by 4 or 5 for work. The night before would be ideal so I could sleep in if I knew what that was.

In the morning. The less time they spend bagged, the better IMO. I also bag the most fragile fish last (xenos, cyps, etc).

To bag the night before, IMO, fish should be properly fasted so they don't poop in the bag (should be done for morning bagging as well), need to be kept at proper temperature overnight, and should be bagged with O2.
