Best Answer

The water is usually not too dirty and the bag is pumped with air, so the fish can survive for the better part of a day (though not comfortably) if the temperature is tolerable. While they can technically survive in bags for longer than that, they may not be able to survive the stress of transitioning into a new aquarium afterwards if kept in the bag too long. The intention is to have the water in the bag reach the approx temperature of the water in the tank. Should be there in an hour or so.

You should let the bag sit in the tank for about 15 min. before you release the fish into the tank so that they get used to the temperature.

If it hasn't got a filter you are limited to the type of fish that will live happily in your aquarium. In any case, use prime in the water to dechlorinate it and neutralise nitrate and nitrite. Without a fliter, you wont have your fish for long and will need to do daily water changes.
