...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?
When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because those weirdos are your tribe.  (Sweatpants & Coffee)

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'm probably going to pass on shipping anything for now but I'll be paying attention to what others do to pick up pointers. :)

Too Many Fish. Not Enough Tanks.

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....
