Azedenkae Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Hey guys, I may have to ship fish soon to Sydney, and I've never shipped fish before. I know a few things (thanks to Rastinger62 for explaining some basics to me) but now that I actually may have to ship fish for real, I need some specific info. So may as well ask for very specific advise in this case. How to package the fish, how to send them, etc. etc. I'll probably be sending about 2-6 juvies, approx. 3-4cm in length (maybe more, maybe less). Anyone have any experience and can provide me with some advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azedenkae Posted November 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Awesome, thanks. American cichlids really, probably a different number of species. Btw where can I get a box with the fish symbol from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matmatmat Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Most Lfs will either give you a box or sell one cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azedenkae Posted November 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Thanks guys! Will try the lfs and see what they have. Also anyone know the exact cost(s) to ship to Sydney or a link to somewhere I can check? Is it just auspost.com.au? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone have any experience and can provide me with some advice? Hey there guys, I found this post and decided to re-edit our "How to ship fish succesfully" video to make it forum friendly. I hope it can help anyone out there planning to ship fish overnight. Knowing how much we care for our fish and how daunting it can be. This video was made in collaboration with local aquatic clubs. I am not saying its foolproof, just that it has been very successful for us in the past. This method can also be tweaked when shipping delicate fish by using Zeolite (FW only) Enjoy http://youtu.be/iuuhIlsRP-E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
