Details on how to ship fish?
I recently found a new home for all my white cloud fry. However, I have to ship them there, and I've never shipped fish before. I want to use breather bags and an insulated box, but that's all I know.
Can anyone with experience tell me, step-by-step and in detail, how you would go about shipping roughly 25 half-grown white cloud mountain minnows from Boston to Connecticut? And also where I can get the supplies I need?
Thanks for the info. However, I'd like more opinions on how many fish per bag. The fry in question are about 1/2"-3/4" long.
In the case of White Clouds, usually these fish do not get very big, and they are very very durable hardy fish too. I would tend to agree, with larger fish and certain species of fish, shipping in individual bags is probably best. I've learned the hard way unfortunatly that you have to be careful about what fish you put in the same bag. As you probably know, I'm into cichilds and I do sell off eBay, Aquabid, and offer from Cichild-forum.com trading post. Most of the time I prefer a local pick up but not all sales go that way. I have had a few DOA's and it was my fault for putting a male in with another male by accident. In the case of White Clouds, I do not think this would be an issue, and depending on the overall size of the Clouds, you could probably get away easily with putting 2-3 per bag in there.
Now I see your size listing, I have no worries at all if you were to put even 3-4 in a bag, but it will depend on your overall bag size. I think you are looking for bag buddies it sounds like with breather bags. If you opt for breather bags, then you probably want to go with a single fish. Breather bags will say right on the bag, do not double bag these as it interferes with the gas exchange.
Assuming you are going with breather bags, go with 2 fish per bag then. At their size, this will not pose a problem. You may want to consider getting a bottle of Methelyene Blue too. Meth blue is a compound that helps keep brown blood problems away by promoting oxygen transfer in the blood. This is very useful when shipping fish.
Fill a bag buddy bag up full to the point where then you tie off the bag, it's full right to the top of the knot. If you end up with 12-13 bags for your box, I'd line your box with styrofoam. Inside the styrofoam, pad it with a lot of newspaper too. At this time of the year also, I'd probably go with heater packs. Assuming you have all the bags in one box, put a heater pack about every 3rd to 4th bag. That should provide enough heat to stablize them during transit. Add a few small drops of meth blue into the water before you seal the bag up also.
When you have the box lined, padded with newspaper, you put the bags in, put heating pack in, and are ready to close up the box, try to sit your bags upright if possible, and add in extra newspaper to support the bags to say upright if possible. Enclose the bags as a whole with styrofoam over the top and seal the box up. Seal the edges of your box tight with tape so that there is little chances of your box busting open during transit.
The distance your fish are going does not look far, and any express mail should be there the next day, even priority mail should get there the next day also. I've had all my fish comming from CT to NJ arrive next day via priority due to how close they are going. With Meth Blue in your water, and heating packs in the box, even if the fish went 2 days in transit, there should not be any danger. In all seriousness, if you want to follow other advice, it's ok, but I'm telling you how my experiences have gone. I have had fish, end up being in the post office over the weekend and still arrive all alive. The breather bags combined with meth blue really help out in this case. I also have had a Jardini Arowana come to me from Malaysia in transit 10 days in the box, and arrive alive as well. Shipping is not that dangerous if you follow precautions, honestly. Usually problems occur if you stock bags with fish that shouldn't be grouped togeather in such a small space, or preventitive measures such as meth blue or tranquil are not added to the water to reduce stress. I have high confidence your fish, as hardy as they are, and as caring as you appear to be asking this, should turn out just fine. Best of luck. If I am not clear on what I'm trying to say, just say so and I'll try to re-word it.
