LS1silvia Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 I am babysitting my friends beloved Oscar "Chuck". He is about 13cm (not really an adult yet). They are moving to melbourne and i am to send him down. I would like to hear from someone who ships fish about some dos and donts, so i can ensure i dont kill my friends beloved water-puppy!

Citypainter Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 First gon't feed him for a 2 days prior to shipping. Second get a foam box or esky with a lid. Then bag the fish in a fish bag with out corners. 1/4 water the rest air. add a drop of prime. Take to Australian Air express and send it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tech Den Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 You need to get a foam box with the sign that shows it as a seafood/fish box otherwise they could reject it. Double bag the fish. Put a bag in a bag. Use oxygen not air. $81 from Brisbane to Melbourne AAE for a standard 60X25cm foam fish box Send around 7am and should get there about 12-1pm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
