I'm not sure of the specific supplies used but the fish are usually sent Next Day/Overnight or Priority so they get to their destination within a day or two.

oh okay so it is a "special care shipping " to get it done quickly and safely as possible ??

how in the world would they not die ?!?!?!?!?

Many of the fish in the lfs are selling fish that have been shipped much farther then one state to another.

 

[willywonka099]

yes but im asking HOW ?? i mean isnt it a little outragous pricing on some of the fish 30$ + 15$ express shipping i mean if they were as beautiful as the ones in this forum aybe but still ........

Many of them are that beautiful! Usually the betta is places in a plastic bag with a couple of inches of water (they need lots of air on top to breathe), which is then tied or sealed in some other way. Depending on where the fish is travelling to, a heat pac may be added. Then, the fish is placed in a styrofoam box with some type of packing material inside to steady the fish. Then into the cardboard box, to the post office or to ups or whatever, where it is labelled as live fish, or live animals, or something to that nature.
