shiping fish? Turquoise severums $10

[jpmroane]

I would like to sell fish online:confused: . Does anyone know how to ship the fish? I would like to know about how to contact Ups or Fed Ex as well as how to safely pack them. anyway here is my add: Great looking Heros appendiculatus (turquoise severums) 2 inches up to 4 inches. Selling as single fish but buyer can buy as many as available. They have striking turquoise, blue, orange, and gold. The turquoise and blue are distributed from the face to the tail on females. The orange is on the anal fin of females. The males have spots in rows along the body with color on face and fins. The fish are in good healthy shape with no diseases. Some trades considered.

Where are you located?

When I've ordered fish, they were shipped overnight. They were in bags, filled with water and pure oxygen (like they do at some fish stores). The box also contained "heat packs" to keep them warm during shipping.

The Appendiculatus can be ordered from Tangled Up In Cichlids at 2-2.5" for $7.50 each. They are very experienced and reputable in the cichlid trade. So, you may have troubles competing with TUIS by asking $10 for them at 2-4".

I've read a nice discussion on how to mail fish in one of the discus fourms, I think it was simplydiscus.com, might have been daah.info , if I can fins it I'll link for you.

As of yet I can not ship them. I would consider my fish a bargin for someone who is local. Just add about 40 dollars in shiping to T.C.'s 7.50 and man do I look good! They retail in my area (southern N.H and metro boston) for about 24-30 dollars a pop. How about that UPS stuff air planes and oxygen pacs? It sounds scary to an outsider like me. how do I do it?
