so im considering selling a few of my pairs of angelfish maybe a group of 5 not yet mated up too, but i live in the county and there isnt a local market so i would prolly have to sell them online, but how dangerous would shipping large angels be? ive shipped quarter sized angels alot, and a few of them even die. id hate to ship large adults to have half a pair die. you know? any ideas/help?

you'll probably need to bag them single using larger bags.. many distributors also use black out bags to reduce stress..often accomplished by using newspaper wrap and double bagging.. the newspaper is usually folded and wrapped around the inner bag and placed in the outer bag.

pack the bags in a larger bag , pack upright in cooler using packing peanuts to stabilize them. I would recommend overnite or next day shipping.
