Is there a way to bring fish home....

[bigspizz]

...From vacation? I'm going on vacation, and would like to make some LFS stops before I go home. I'm flying, so is there any way to bring them with me? Or will I have to ship them to myself?

As far as I know, you have to ship them to yourself.

you must pay at the airport but call them first and they charge you as cargo and when you land they will land with u

Where are you going on vacation? It might make a BIG difference!

You could sneak them into your check in luggage. I believe Li did this a while back with some polypterus specimens.

I think liquids are banned from carry on's


So call the airport in Vegas, and ask to speak to who? Thanks for the help guys, I have never done this before.

No liquid in carry on. Smuggle it in the check in. As far as I know, there is no TSA regulation against that. Against individual airline policy, but nothing illegal.

Bring a styro and pack the fish for shipping (heat pack if necessary)...place them in your checked bag...and pick up at baggage claim. Piece of cake.

I brought 4 suitcases of fish back from South America (of course with proper import/export permits) that way.

I don't see live animals on the list, but it would def not be allowed in carry on so i'm not sure about checked. If you do go through with it pack it good...i just traveled abroad and had the friendly notice that my bag was searched, multiple times.
