A back brace is good- plan to get a workout.

Sounds like the transport tank wasn't used to it's advantage - IT MUST BE COMPLETELY FULL!!!This keeps the water from sloshing around during transportation. Anyone who has damaged fish in the past has most likely not filled the tank to capacity before transport. My fish went/came in the best shape of any of the 10+ shows I've done. Not one single scratch/scrape or any health issues upon return either. Actually, first time I didn't lose a fish during return quarantine!!
