  • Got a couple requests for this, so I thought I would put out a detailed Shipping Video. I hope this will help out those of you who haven't yet experienced this yet.

    *All methods and ideas discussed in this video are based on what has worked for me locally with my municipal water supply and my particular aquarium set ups. This might not work for your aquarium set up in your area with your local water supply. I take no responsibility for any of the ideas that might be used from this video that don't work out to your expectations.

      @robertreese2600 7 лет назад

      I think if you follow the instructions in this video, you will be just fine the fish should be ok. keep me informed though.

    Paul,
    I love how you go to great lengths to insure the safety of the fish!
    Hopefully, when I set my next tank up, it will be graced by the presents of some of your apistos!

    I've heard of a lot of peoples packages being rejected because of it being labeled with LIVE FISH. Have you ever had any problems with that?

    • @PaulsPlantedAquariums
      @PaulsPlantedAquariums  7 лет назад

    Can you use Indian Almond leaves instead of the blue liquid? For a betta shipment. The leaf does the same as the blue liquid. Its a stress reliver and fights off bad bacteria.

    • @PaulsPlantedAquariums
      @PaulsPlantedAquariums  8 лет назад

      Good infomation.. I have heard that but I've not tried it. Thanks for your input.

    • @PaulsPlantedAquariums
      @PaulsPlantedAquariums  7 лет назад

      Rosabella Pinkheart Yes, the blue liquid is methylene blue.. thanks for tuning in..😅

    After this video did you just drop the package off at the postal service, or did you pay another fee for the package to ship out? Please respond

    • @PaulsPlantedAquariums
      @PaulsPlantedAquariums  8 лет назад

      +Junior Thao I ship USPS Flat rate which is a set fee for small, Medium, and Large packages no weight limits (If it fits it Ships) I can give the package to my home carrier or take it to the Post office with no extra fees.

    No need to hand write “LIVE FISH” on you shipping boxes. You can purchase “LIVE FISH HANDLE WITH CARE” warning stickers on ebay. Here is a link, www.ebay.com/str/padsplus/Live-Fish/_i.html?_storecat=23686356017

    • @PaulsPlantedAquariums
      @PaulsPlantedAquariums  7 лет назад +1

      You could but it would be the same as the air in the room.

    • @Dwai2764
      @Dwai2764 7 лет назад

      Pauls Planted Aquariums the fish would be in the bag for about 14 hours , should be okay ?

    • @PaulsPlantedAquariums
      @PaulsPlantedAquariums  7 лет назад +1

    Hi there to ship a guppy is a heat pack nesessary ?

    • @PaulsPlantedAquariums
      @PaulsPlantedAquariums  8 лет назад

      If the night time or low temperature's drop below 55 degrees F between were you ship from to were the fish is being shipped I would use a heat pack.

    • @sofiaosorio6376
      @sofiaosorio6376 8 лет назад

    • @PaulsPlantedAquariums
      @PaulsPlantedAquariums  8 лет назад

    • @PaulsPlantedAquariums
      @PaulsPlantedAquariums  8 лет назад

      If you are referring to the Apistogrammas Cacatouides, yes they are relatively easy to breed..
