I need to ship my cousin his 2 fish, 2 shrimp, and 5 corals this weekend. He lives about 6 hours away. His mom is going to pick up everything Saturday morning. I have a few small coolers that I recieved my stuff in, but no Bags. I'm worried about oxygen level for that long. I suspect the trip is going to be about 8 hours for the critters. Any suggestions would help greatly.

aaahhhh 8 hours, your fine, just go to a LFS and ask if you can buy some of their big bags that they bag stuff up in, just fill them up and put them in the cooler, they will be fine.

how long would they be good in the bags? Should there be any means of temperature control? I just don't want to have him tell me that I killed any of his critters.

if you put them in large bags, they should be good for 8-10 hours at least. put them in a cooler and that should keep them temp pretty consistant.
