How long can fish survive in a shipment?
Many factors determine how long fish can survive in a shipment, including packing density and ambient temperature.
Generally, our fish are packed to survive for approximately 24 hours inside of the box. Shipments almost always arrive in less than 20 hours.
How do you ship koi and goldfish? How do they stay alive?
All fish that we ship are packaged in multiple layers of commercial-grade plastic bags. The bags are filled with fresh well water and pure oxygen, sealed tightly with rubber bands, then secured inside of crush-proof corrugated cardboard boxes. Unlike atmospheric oxygen, pure oxygen is able to enter the water without aeration. The fish swim freely inside of the box, just as comfortable as they would be in a tank or pond.
