3 days easy, key is to keep the water drained off of them.

I try not to go over 2 days. If I know it will be longer or real hot I make sure it is large cooler. I put a bag of ice on bottom leaving it in the bag. Add fish. Add another bag (still in bag) on top. Agree must keep water drained off.

Grandad always told me until their gills turned light pink/white. I have kept them for 5 days on ice and the gills were still red/dark pink. Never had a problem.
