Shipping Process

  • 2-Day Quarantine

    Quarantine is a process of isolating live animals, including fish, to prevent the spread of disease or parasites. Quarantine fish before shipping to ensure that they are healthy and free of any infectious diseases or parasites that could potentially spread to other fish at their destination

  • Pack-N-Ship

    Live fish will be packaged in a way that allows them to breathe and stay hydrated during shipping. This usually involves using a sturdy container with a secure lid and adding some form of oxygen (such as an air stone) and a small amount of water to the container

  • Delivery Service

    Live fish will be shipped using a method that ensures they will arrive at their destination as quickly as possible. This may involve using a faster shipping option, such as overnight or two-days shipping
