Looking For Advice On Shipping Fish

[This Old Spouse]

Hi, all. I unwittingly produced some spectacular guppies, and now I have an interested party who'd like me to ship some to him. Biggest problem is the cold weather, but I've never shipped fish before and I'd like to know the best way to do so. I really want the little guys to arrive safely and, well, thawed.

Thanks!

Take polybox, add heat pack, add fish in the bag, close box, send using next day delivery service.

If you don't know how to tie a bag up, ask for someone at your LFS to show you (I find rubber band method to be most reliable), and practice a few times, leaving the bag tied up overnight. Use enough water to cover the fish, comfortably, and have about 60% air in the bag.
