Hi - I'm sure this has been covered many times before but would appreciate a consolidated list :) How would you suggest packing fishes for a 3-4 hour drive to best ensure their survival?

I'm guessing some kind of bucket with a battery air stone but any more details would be great! It is 4 small fishes, I think the drive will likely be little shorter than this but I'm adding extra time for safety.

If it matters, 3 of the fish know each other and 1 has never met the rest.

Thanks!
 
Just add extra water in bags and in a cooler to hold temp.
