I am sooo tired of bagging fish and plants. I decided since I didn't
have to deal with weight issues, I put the fish in large breathing bags
with about a quart and a half of water in each, with 6 livebearer fry in
each. Now I just have to finish my labels. Sigh, going to conventions is
hard work. :)
