Can anyone point me to a service or guide me through shipping live fish? Selling off the tank and many who are interested in the fish are asking about shipping. No experience doing this. Located near Chicago. Thank you!
 
Hi. Where are you at in Chicago area? I'm in the burbs. Curious if you have anything else you are still looking to get rid of.

you will want to fill the bag about 1/3-1/2 full of water, fill up the rest with oxygen, and possibly add some small carbon pellets or some small source of carbon in the water, but they really need to be sent for next day delivery with a small heating pad and plenty of styrofoam padding to keep them protected. I hope this helps. Good luck.

PS. What are you selling?

Hi! The tank is at the office where I work in Aurora near Fox Valley Mall. The owner is retiring and selling off the tank. Let me know if you're interested.
