That's a good choice That way you know what you are getting and can personally pick him out. Besides, can you imagine the trauma fish must go through to be shipped?
3 x small Plastic bags (holds fish and approximately 300ml of water triple wrapped), heat pack (hand warmer), polystyrene box, 1 slightly bigger plastic bag, 1 small cardboard box, and a fragile sticker. If you order one off the transhipper then you will see how its done.
