Fish Shipping Times
- Thread starter Cu455

Depends on the size and species. Normally I opt for Priority 2-3 days when I can. If its a expensive fish I may go overnite. Depends on the dealer they sometime will only ship overnite.
I prefer airport to airport, especially for anything of even moderate size.
But in many cases 24 hour is what's available, and very good.
but even with 24 hour, if there is a storm, or mechanical error 24 hours may turn into 48, or more.
The biggest killer (or disease cause) in fish is stress.
To me, anything one can do to lessen stress, such as ammonia burn, fluctuating temps, is worth the trouble.
Whenever I received fish thru the US postal service, I would take a vacation day, and arrive at the post office the moment it opens to save hours riding around in a hot, or cold truck, and get them out of bags and into fresh water as soon as possible.

No way I'd get pbass shipped Priority (or 2 or 3 days). Airport to airport or next day is worth the piece of mind...
Post some pics of the convicts. I have about 300 convict fry from a marbled pair but assuming some are not going to be marbled. Selling them for 20$. Was thinking about shipping but didn't think people would pay for convicts due to high shipping cost.
Well everyone is different and I'm sure there is people out there that might want them. My shippin was not bad 15$ and got my fish cheap so it was sweet. Well worth imo I really wanted some. They have fun personalities as parents
