...so who's going to be new to shipping fish this year?....anyone?......I think Scott and Willie mentioned giving it a shot.? With the warmer temps coming up around spring time, it's almost ideal weather to do so....
Last Fall I shipped lots of boxes of Endlers, first time to ever ship fish. They all traveled well, of course they are tough little fish. But I sure liked the breather bags I used, they helped make sure the shipments went fine. I recommend them to everyone who has smallish fish to ship. They are very strong plastic, took a lot for me to make a hole in one as an experiment. You can order them at Ken's fish.

I need to get my fish to start spawning again before I can ship anything. I need to figure out what I'm going to do about my water. I have two pairs that spawn but there eggs go bad.
Do you have to use oxygen to ship?

It really helps, but I've shipped without it, I need to pick up a tank, etc for this year.....and yep breather bags are nice for certain small fish...
i want to try shipping this year if i can get everything together to do it
I'm probably going to pass on shipping anything for now but I'll be paying attention to what others do to pick up pointers. :)
..for starters, the USPS flat rate boxes are free......the larger ones are nice....
The USPS has decided they no longer allow liquid in Priority boxes. At least that was take on it.

..it isn't liquid, it's 'live animals'....I'm not sure fish apply there....
