While vendors are certainly allowed to post their wares in the Marketplace if they so desire, most choose to only post in their designated personal forum. This is their choice. Most non-commercial individuals who sell fish, particularly mature fish, don't want the bother or expense of shipping a large fish.Thanks for the information. I barely find local people here so meeting up is hard. All the cool fish seem to be in California and know wants to ship. I don’t really seem to have a problem with fish website with shipping as far as stress goes. But I understand people can’t replace, I not expecting them to. It’s.

I would think people would discuss who going to take the lose. And when you buy things on Criaglist or second hand there alway a risk on item not being what you hoped or breaking down soon then you planned. O2 stables air stone and most lfs will help with filling with air for long travel.It is not easy at all for a layman to ship a fish on a budget, even if not a large one, even if without the spines and teeth. It takes practice, much, much practice to get into the 90%-95% success rate. Meanwhile, one must eat the losses.
Take yourself as an example. Perhaps it is a typo, but it is not air the shipping bags are filled with. See, even the basics elude people, what to say about finer points of know-how to ship?
In an analogy - what's so hard about driving? You place in gear, steer the wheel, push at two pedals when needed, and watch the traffic in front of you. What's the big deal? Piece of cake! A half-wit can do it! But if you just get in and go, you are much more than likely bound to buy the nearest farm or kill someone and yourself.
