Never shipped fish before so good to know. Only thing I would add is there is an insulated thick foil pad that is sold in hardware stores and a Japanese Dollar Store called Daiso. It's said to help retain heat so I wonder if lining the box with that stuff would keep the package warm enough to get to their destination more safely

A Gamer's Wife I also purchased a tool to cut through styrofoam and have no mess from the pieces. Off amazon it was $21.99. Best investment I made. Here it is: Kohree Upgrade Hot Wire Foam Cutter, 3 in 1 Styrofoam Knife Cutter Electric Hotwire Foam Cutting Tool, 100-240V /18W Heated Foam Carving Knife Kit

If u want, u can add a piece or two of hornwort plants instead of a plastic mesh in the shrimp bag. It will not only let them hang on to it, but also provide bit of extra oxygen and also to a shrimp or two does, it can absorb some of the bad stuff. U r also helping the environment like this as ur using less plastic :) plus the customer/buyer gets an extra piece of fee plant and if they don’t want it they can always compost it or just throw it away.

Excellent thorough and concise essay on sending live fish/shrimp. Clean clear and very easy to follow. Footage and results from your recipient was an outstanding way to complete it. 👍🏼 For what it’s worth - I’d love to see this quality of a report describing a larger project (several installments) like selective breeding reds and orange down to green shrimp.

this is literally the best shipping video I have seen, and I have checked a lot of vids. you covered pretty much everything there is to know about shipping. One question, since im using the breather bags, would affect the ocygen exchange if I wrapped the whole package with plastic bags? also, do you recommend adding some purigen in the bag? thanks for everything, im geting into shipping shrimps and im doing my research as you did.
@GirlTalksFish
@GirlTalksFish 4 жыл бұрын
I'm glad it helped you! I wrapped the insides of the package with plastic bags, but since it wasn't airtight or waterproof, I believe gas exchange still occurred. I seem to remember that Rachel O'Leary would add a chunk of sponge that removes ammonia and other toxic chemicals, but I can't find the name of it.

Great information! I may be selling some shrimp on craigslist soon, but I want to be prepared before listing anything and this video is full of excellent tips. So do you think that I should buy some shrimp food to give away to customers? What is the protocol for a seller? I have plenty of carpeting plants that I could give away as I let the excess dwarf sag and valisnaria nana float, but I have no frogbit or mosses. Any advice would be appreciated Irene. What substitute for newsprint do you suggest because I don't get newspapers anymore?

Oh dear. If they're juveniles, they should gain more color as they get older. But if they're adults, you may have been sent some low grade cherry shrimp. You can try feeding them krill-based foods to see if it'll bring out their coloration. Hope that helps!

Hmm, that sounds like super soft water with high buffering capacity (which means you won't be able to change the pH as easily). There are ways to raise the GH, but you could probably keep a lot of Amazonian fish and maybe even cardinal shrimp with those kinds of readings. Definitely do more research on them first.

Great question! I think it may depend on your post office. I have a full-time fish breeder/seller who lives near me and frequently uses the same post office, so they don't freak out when they see that label. Not that it guarantees it, but I do think the delivery people do treat the boxes a little better when they see that label because no one wants to see animals hurt. 🤞
