I'm wondering how large Arowana's, or any sized Arowana's, are shipped, especially from one buyer to another? I was just viewing the marketplace and saw people offering to buy large Aro's if shipped (3 feet ones)... and I'm thinking to myself, wouldn't that be pretty tragic? A 3 foot Aro in a small container flown from state to state? How do people ship even say a 10" Silver? I'm not referring to bulk orders, but just single fish.
 
Awhile ago, a member here shipped her aro to another member. The aro went from washington state to San Deigo in a cooler.
 
Wow.... from my experience, UPS and other shippers aren't the most careful workers especially when they handle hundreds of packages. Is their some special fish equipment, or handlers, that do an honestly good job? I'd imagine some kind of unseen damage would occur.
 
large boxes or containers with water and oxygen... Li just got a 28 platinum baramundi shipped to him few weeks ago.... large fish are shipped airport to airport
