lol I'm going to guess that is where you live lol. Can fish actually be shipped? I've never heard of shipping fish before.

Where do you think pet stores get there fish? They are all shipped because petstores don't take your own fish. Or at least my petsmart and petco doesn't. There is a lot of online fish stores that have to ship over night. I have a friend who only gets fish from the quality fish stores only, unfortuanly none are around here, so they have to be shipped.

Oh cool! Well I wasn't sure if they were shipped or not. There is one petstore close by me and the owner there is really good friends with me and give me great discounts. And she has taken fish from people before. But that's also because she is really nice and wants to help people. If I knew how to ship a fish in one day safely I wouldn't mind doing it. I would just be afraid of the bag breaking on the way.

Local stores usually buy fish from people, but chain store like petco and petsmart do not. It is against their policy. Fish are often shipped. A few people on here have gotten bettas. I'd love to be able to afford some of the $300 goldfish on fishsempai which would be shipped. Goldfish have quite a few more shipping regulations when coming into the country than others because they can spread disease and people like to release them. If you were able to ship them to Florida, you would not want to claim them as goldfish. Any other legal fish would be ok. You'd want to ship the fish in a bag and the bag would be inside a styrofoam cooler so it would be safer. I've never shipped an animal though.
