I've had LA send me a 4.5" blueface angelfish from Cali at 3pm and I got it at 12 noon the next day. Thats 21hrs and the bag has maybe 1/2 gal of water and another 1/2gal amount of air. Didnt look like the fish had any problems.

It was mentioned by another member of the board that it is pure oxygen in the bag?

ordinary air has about 20% oxygen.
