Hi,
I know that in the killifish scene some people send fishes with the post.
I had a bad experience right the first time I received fishes. Except of one
all were dead. It took 8 days from the middle of Germany to Stockholm and the
weather was changing to very hot in this time.
That was for me the first and last time buying fishes this way and I don´t wanna
give it a try to send fishes myself.
But I know also succesful examples were people received fishes from Spain or France
to Sweden without problems.
All in all I would say there is always a risk of losing the fish.
But what about using other networks. There are for example every year a lot of meetings in whole
Europe by other groups (killifish, betta breeders, dart frogs,reptiles, big fairs…).
Maybe we don´t share the interest for the same animals but we share at least the interest for the same kind of hobby and a lot of people come around in the world. Most of this groups have special forums where you can ask.
I asked myself a lot if you can take fishes with you in the luggage if you fly within Europe for example. Let´s say you put them well packed in a styrofoambox in your suitcase.
Is there any trouble waiting at the airport?
