Put the fish in Styrofoam boxes, the stingray separated, and one fish per box, you must use an aerator for each box , all boxes should have lids, have enough batterys to change every two hours.
Aerators are usually available in Pet stores and also Bait stores.
Also remember that the fish need a water temperature maintained so they do not get too cold or warm.
Water level, air, temperature. And remember that you have to prepare the new home with a shock medication.

They sell large fish shipping bags (18" x 32") - are those big enough? Put each fish in a large bag and throw a bag buddy in there.
You *can* use tupperware containers or small coolers,but bags are prefered as the water moves less.

I'd recommend a large, styrofoam container/cooler. You'll also want to pick up a battery powered filter to help make the trip as easy as possible.
Best of luck...

Tupperware containers works wonders. You can buy them at any walmart and get any size you need.
