Below is an outline of how to ship fish with AAE
- need an approved styro box this will have an approval mark on the lid
- you will need an inner liner so large garbage bag or similar
- you will need an absorbant so layer of newspaper on bottom of box
- don't feed the fish for 48 hrs before shipping
- double bag with 2 elastic bands per bag
- water to 1/3 of bag height
- use Prime 1-2 drops depending on bag size
- mix half tank water and half pre conditioned fresh water
- use oxygen
- use some sort of packing if bags are loose in box ie bubblewrap or newspaper
- size of bag is determined by size and number of fish
- print a label in A4 paper with receivers name and contact details plus your name, contact details and address as sender
- and put it in a plastic bag and tape it to the lid
- leave the lid unsealed as they will want to inspect the box
- take a roll of 2" packing tape and seal the box after they OK it
- call the receiver and advise con note number and flight details
