Wes St. Jean (m) » posted 2009/03/20 03:07 pm  
I've never shipped fish so dont have a clue how to pack them , or how they get oxygen???
crystal abshire » posted 2009/03/20 03:09 pm  
Oh shipping the fish isnt difficult - just need some practive maybe - see you could use me top get some practice - I wnot sue you if they dont make it - lol - I have a great link to packing fish for shipping if you want it for furture reference I can email it to you.
tony henderson » posted 2009/03/20 03:09 pm
they have oxygen tablets,thats why most of the fish you order come in a blueish water
crystal abshire » posted 2009/03/20 03:10 pm  
oh and the oxygen comes from the bag buddies -- pure oxygen is released by them - you can by them at some lfs and all over online.
Wes St. Jean (m) » posted 2009/03/20 03:13 pm  
How long would they live, with those tabs???
tony henderson » posted 2009/03/20 03:14 pm  
you need styrofroam box a good heavy duty bagy a little hand warmer pack and about 35 to 45 bucks to send them

This would be good info Crystal can you post that web page.
tony henderson » posted 2009/03/20 03:18 pm  
they say up to 3 or 4 days check fed ex and the usps and southwesr airlines overnight mail,for prices in your area the overnight ship is of course preferred

i've gotten fish that have been in the bow/bag 4 days thanks to our slow pony express mail here in kansas and all were alive yet . they came from florida

Wes St. Jean (m) » posted 2009/03/20 03:19 pm  
Do you ship them , same day delivery? Or purolater, or????
tony henderson » posted 2009/03/20 03:20 pm  
yea ive heard 4 daysis kinda pushin but theres proof they will survive
Jeremy Weir » posted 2009/03/20 03:21 pm  
Tanks Tony for the info.
tony henderson » posted 2009/03/20 03:23 pm  
the cheapest is usps priority mail which takes 2 to 3 days i like the overnight stuff especially if your ordering that many fish,oh ya if you ever do order fish keep the boxes, alot of guys will use cardboard box and line the inside with styrofoam,for they are cheaper then reg styrofoam boxes
Wes St. Jean (m) » posted 2009/03/20 03:26 pm  
Thank you to everyone, for the great info!! I feel like I'm back in school!!LOL.
