Hey guys I have a quick question about shipping live fish. I'm from the east side of Canada and wanting to ship a few live fish to the west side. What's the best way to package these guys and which shipping company is best for this? Anyone with experienced fish shipping please leave me a few tips. Thanks!

I know nothing about the shipping companies up there but you have to figure out the box size and weight,and how much they will charge you for overnight delivery....
 
Yes,just the way it's done in the stores when you purchase your fish.I like to at least double the plastic bags when I do ship fish and if you don't know how to,observe how the bags are tied at the store.It is done in a way to trap oxygen in the bag when the bag is quickly gripped and tied....You could even stop by a store and have then inject oxygen into your fish bag and tie it before closing it up in your box and dropping it off at the shipper.

And of course the inside of the box must be well padded with styrofoam or newspaper and you may need heat packs.
