How did the CNBG do when you released them in the pond? Did the rough ride cause a high mortality rate?

I agree with esshup that full tanks are best, but the trade off is that you don't have any air in the top of the tank for the extra oxygen needed to get the fish to their destination.

I am just trying to figure out "best practices" for when people on PB don't have a professional hauling the fish.

The fish did fine. Zero Morts. O2, a little salt, and a little clove oil, makes everything better. I'll post a pick of my portable O2 rig later today, That'll clear things up.
