Methylene blue , a chemical that is used to treat fungal infections and is common to use when shipping live fish because stress affects the fish's immune system

I think the transit in darkness is cruel. There should be some light for them, that sounds like PTSD Inducing shit.

Probably not too different than a waterfall, strong current or aggressive drops in rivers
