shipping fish?

[BIGgourami]

when shipping a fish from one person to another...


that's all i know what do i need to do?
it'd be from WA to IL...

like fedex overnight in a bag with packing peanuts, heat pad inside of a box?
is that ok?

ANY help is appreciated..

Try to get it there as quick as possible, and try to keep the water temp a steady temprature. fedex or overnight would be alright, but an airport to airport would be better in a styro box or cooler with heat pads and all the such.. I would try to run some tests to make sure you have it right by doing the bag of water and heating pads with the box and put it in the freezer to see how long it takes the temp to go down. Just remember big bags lots of air with the the water.
