check with the arilines odds are you can't carry it onboard but it can go freight or possibly checked luggage
I just called TSA and they said its okay to carry on a fish since the fish is alive indicating that the water is non toxic/harmful/explosive. The lady I spoke with recommended that I carry as little water as possible. She also said that its ultimately up to that airports TSA to allow it or not. But it is TSA policy to allow the carry on of a live fish which all TSA should obeyed by.
It takes so long to get through airport security, and get boarded these days because of homeland security and all, I would make sure you can take a later flight if you need to and still get where you need to be...
You could feasibly take double the time to board if they want to inspect your package. Bring some tape along so you can seal the box back up, because they are going to want to see inside with their bare eyes...even though they have x-ray, anything out of the ordinary, they'll pull you out of line and do a search...
Count on delays for sure...

TSA won't let you through security with more than 3oz of liquid. Even if someone in their call center said it's OK...you can bet the people actually at the airport didn't get the memo...
You can check a fish box (styro) as luggage on many airlines. Southwest required me to have the styros taped shut and inside a cardboard box, but I checked two fish boxes as my two (free) bags. I picked them up at baggage claim and brought them home.
And you can check a smaller styro fishbox in a piece of luggage as luggage on any airline. I have one that holds 2-3 fish bags that fits into a suitcase with my clothes, etc. Never had a problem with it.

This sounds promising. Is there an actual copy of their statute or bylaw stating this explicitly?
Have proof with you that the fish is what you say it is and that it is legal in your state. If you get this info from a FWC site print the whole page to show their emblem etc.
