URGENT! NEED ADVICE ON FISH TRANSPORTATION!

[AydenLincoln]

So I got a small porcupine pufferfish and Petco is holding him for me and not putting them in their tanks. Will he be okay in an insulated and heated cooler until approximately 8 pm tonight? When he can go into a quarantine/isolation. I’m picking him up before work or they sell him. And he’s an adorable 4-5 inches.

Are you able to provide any form of aeration during the time he’s in the cooler? Will you be able to constantly monitor him?

Yes I can but I’m not sure where I’d put him I work at a grocery store lol.

You know what solution. I’m running home to place him in the bucket of fresh/heated saltwater I have and not risking keeping him in the cooler. But wait I can’t do that. Well he’s staying in a small bucket then. I will bring an aerator and heater with me.
