Is it OK to ship several small fish together in one bag or should a single bag be used for each fish?

Thanks

The thing to remeber is if one fish in the bag dies you may lose the whole bag. When I ship ellasoma, for example, I ship a pair in each small bag.

I have shipped and recieved four or five in a single bag with no problem (most recent example I remember were topminnws). As mentioned their are risks, but it is normally not a problem.

I got 30 mosquitofish in a single bag of 2-3 quarts of water last year. I lost maybe 5 in shipping, but the others were fine. I think it depends a lot on how fragile the fish are. Coldwater species that demand better water quality require more packing care than hardier species.
