how long can fish survive in the tank without electricity/water flow?

i am sure it varies from tank to tank. i saw a thread where several of his fish died b/c he turned his pumps off to feed and forgot and left it off overnight.

but a 5" fish can remain alive in a small bag for shipping that is 12+hrs?

i'm just wondering if i had an electicity outage in my 180g for a prolong period, at what point will livestock start dying.

i have a generator, but if no one is home, it wont get plugged in to start. with a buddy's help, i can rig up a backup battery for the tank though.

electricity does go out from time to time in my area when it rains hard. also i live in a prime hurricane region.
