As Yanbbrox pointed out most shops don't wanna get them do to fear that they will get stuck with a Monster that they will have too feed and house, costing them monies that they'll rarely re-coup.

I paid $130 for my first pair at 4 inches, which later proved to be 2 males, hench there constant fighting even when small. One male ripped the dorsel fin of the other half off. But my second set which was later learned to be 2 females, cost much less as they where supposed to be sold too someone else but they didn't take them. I have seen larger ones like mine now go for $180~$300 each at LFS that are trying to recoup maintaining them in house for so long.

Meth Blue A.K.A. Methylene Blue: Aids in general disease prevention, including superficial fungal infection, ich, and costia. Detoxifies fish from nitrite or cyanide poisoning. All treatment should be carried out in a hospital tank or container. Some LFS use as net dip. I would not let the LFS put this stuff in the bag.
All GG's glup air mainly from the surface, especially so when agitated. I would either ask for the largest bags they have to offer or bring my own 5~6gal bucket with drilled lid and battery powered aerator ask that they use just enough water to cover the fish. Allowing for a greater surface area. Keep the lid covered with a towel or something so light doesn't get in a agitate the fish anymore than can be helped.

Blue bag buddie would not lead me to that conclusion, thanks for the clear up, now if everyone would please post in English it would help

Large bag, Keep it as dark as possible, you'd probably get away without the air but if you have access to one use it. Heat shouldn't be a problem on a five hour drive just take it easy when introducing the fish to the tank
