The king of DIY how to ship Piranhas? Can we have a video on that?
Holy cow this is so well organized in terms of tips from start to finish.
Thanks for this Joey, this information will come in handy soon. I appreciate the time and effort you put in to your videos keep up the great work.
Also is it advisable to use and airpump to fill oxygen into the plastic bag? Thank you Joey for having such priceless videos.
this is very helpful im glad i found your channel
I don't even have fish or a passion for them, but I do love watching your videos!
Good info. Interesting about not drop acclimating. Makes me feel a bit more comfortable to mix the water, but what you say makes sense.
Thank you so much. Im moving 1800 miles away and I did not want to ship my tank pets. Great information!!!!!
Good video and tips, learned some new things for my next order shrimp going out, thanks.
Great vid joey alot of great info there!!!!
Finally someone who understands quarantine! Lol i cant say i wouldn't have expected you to. Haha even some advanced hobbyists dont QT. and many times, the people that do QT only do so for less than 4 weeks. 4-6 weeks is definitely required IMO. Great video as usual Joey!
Very thankful for this video!!!
U are awesome this video helped me a lot bro
As usual, great video and very informative. Thanks Joey. Learned a lot here :)

Loved the video. Great topic and awesome instructions.
Thanks again, your knowledge on every aspect of fish keeping is amazing!. Cheers from Bend Oregon
Thankyou so much for this video, I am now more confident to do this shipping my goldfishes overnight. pls. tell me where I can get oxegyn, for I have fishes over 6 and 7 inches long to ship. thanks, the sooner I hope you can answer, the better. oh! and do you suggest any coompony. like fedex, priority,ups...etc. I will go with whom you suggest.:) I am only shipping inside the U.S.A.thankyou!
I'm moving states and I want to take my fish with me, the trip is usually 16-18hrs can you tell me any tips on how I can keep my fish with minimum stress as possible. I will be moving 2 fancy goldfish and 2 shubunkin goldfish as well as my tropical community tank, thanks.
Just got a flower horn on friday now its tusday and its still kinda. Stress how long till he gets ober the shipping?
Great video uarujoey as always =D
Cracking Vid as always Joey ;-)
thanks for the idea for shippment of fish... i have seen your video where you got your discus fish... lost where it was but i thought you shipped your fish from Alberta... do you have the site from where you got those discus from?
Good info for us cheap guys ;) Your shadow was really doing something weird lol
Thanks so much Joey :) I'm about to ship 3 goldfish and a Betta in a week
Thank you so much for the tips, great video and very helpful.
Hello, I have a question for you. I'm planning on flying my betta fish from HI to PA. The airline I plan to use said the box has to be fibreboard. Do you have any suggestions on where that could be available online or in stores?
Thanks, I am considering first time betta shipping, any tips?
Hi! The method you used to trap oxygen is amazing. May i know how many days can the fish last with the trapped oxygen please? Im planning to ship just a fry over 1.5 inches
how would you go about shipping fish an hour away? I dont have time nor money to drive over there. Or would driving be the best option?
please advice box size. bags size and type and what is needed to ship flowerhorns?
Nice video. .. great topic:)
As far as courier (FedEx, UPS,etc) when do u suggest dropping off to them?
You dont really have to be there early. I would find out when the trucks leave and try to be there a bit early. Other than that, any time.
Hey I live in Canada and I'm looking for fish online could you recommend some sites that are good? I used to live in Hamilton Ontario buy a big box fish store named big owls who had every brand of filter aquarium sums and all sorts of fish since I've moved 2 South Hampton which is basically in the middle of nowhere when it comes to aquarist I only know one fish store in the only brand that they even sell is Fluval for filters don't sell aquariums but they sell the fish their tanks looks so terrible and I just really want to know where I can get fish
So joey do you feel drip acclimating fish doesn't do anything for the fish. .?
hi
how long fish can be inside your packed box
Do you sell discus online
Hey Joe do you know à good place to order fish im Canada ?
Thank you seller angbilis
Hi, wich brand and size of rubber band do you use? thanks in advance
I have questions, "Just example ok", 1. If I live in a cold climate or in a winter season, someone order my fish, but he lives in California or wherever is hot climate, is it okay to use heat pad or not? Using heat pad from here to California is necessary, but the problem is the heat pad is warm and California is a warm and hot climate as well.. warm + warm = hot for sure. I just wanna know and make sure before I make a shipment... 2. If I live in a warm or hot climate, do I need to put a heat pad and add some ice in the box before shipping to other states that are cold? "Just Example"
Can the fish survive without aeration for over or about 24hrs?
For how long a guppy can survive in a box or a packet?
How long clownfish can live in natural air by bags for 5hours trip in bus?
Great vids. Thanks for taking time to make them. One lil' Q I got for you:"What's the thing with the intro >VARU JOEY
Thats my youtube name originally.
Oh, is it really "VARU" or is it "UARU"? I think i made a lil' mistake there, sorry :D
Lucian Blaga uaru as in the uaru cichlid
My firs first thought when I saw the title was
I ship it!
Had no idea about the things you said about accumulate pH and stuff!
Tom Hill Jesus, Maria and Josef. You did not see the video? He said you don't have to put water from your aquarium into the bag that is containing the fish you just bought. I have always tried to accumulate the fish to my water.
My water is actually pretty good for my rays and discus and I do change about 80% a day... So please do not worry about my fish!!!
For how long will guppies survive in a packet
Have you tried shipping with USPS/FedEx/UPS?
@Nam HT Nguyễn as long as it is over night or at least 2 day shipping they are all pretty similar in their handling of them.
Did he actually say that i have to quarantine my new fish for 46 weeks? That’s like 10 months!
OK, yeah that’s what i thought.
What is the website where you sell your discus??
I only sell locally. Within Atlantic canada.
Where can I purchase your fish?..
Can you just add oxygen to the bag with a regular air pump?
No, you need pure oxygen, as in compressed. A regular air pump would put the same type of air you would 'squeeze' down into the bag when you are tying it.
Thank U...
Og joey 😂😭
hey joey just a silly comment do you realize you just told us to take a knife to the airport lol anyhow funny good video also just thought that part was funny thanks keep them coming
You would leave a cutting device in the car.... As that is where you would bring your box.
I was thinking that there would be a better way to ship fish, something like a portable tank.
And so you dont have to ship them back they could be rented, and there would be distributors or more fish stores hopefully within driving distance.
I’m leaving this comment in 2021 thanks man
This would be a great topic to make a new video of
Shipping fish is illegal here in sweden, without proper licence to do so anyway, not an easy thing to get that licence

yeah i know was just joking it caught me funny this morning didnt mean nothing bad liked the video it was good and informative i laugh at my own videos too was just playing
*****
yeah i understood what you meant it just caught me on the funny side i know you were serious but i liked the video and shared on google thanks keep them coming good job your videos are informative and have helped me a lot on some projects
I believe pictures are not reliable. They could just put it to sleep with anesthesia (home made) and the fish would look dead. Videos are much more reliable and I recommend the customer NOT open the bag. If it's been opened, they won't receive any refund or fish of same quality because you never know if they put something in the bag
You are not brighter in colour then me
why am I watching this if i dont even own fish
Your so small in this video joey.
