From what I’ve seen and experience the survival rate is higher. The lince will be shipped in one of those big pleco shielded bag and were sedated. Oxygen were set to last atleast 72hrs when I got mine.
Where Peru its a overnight flight with 24hr oxygen but still received DOA lince.
Yes. They are from Belem, which has high freight costs. My supplier says they need much larger bags as they have been fragile in shipping. Only 2 per box, so freight itself is around $200-250 before the price of the fish
