Cichlid Kid said:I'd ship the fire eel. They're really resilient and could survive numerous days if shipped correctly. I'm just puttin that out there cuz i know it's one of your favorites As far as the bio-media goes imo you have a better chance of it surviving the journey if you can keep it moist/wet in a breathable bag. The important thing to remember is its aerobic bacteria and it needs oxygen and the nitrogen cycle to survive. Bb can live for awhile w/out food but it NEEDS oxygen. If you get those breathable bags your media has the potential to last weeks.
Do I just put it in a bag of tank water? Or does it have to be oxygenated like they do at the petstores. Then I should put it in a little cooler and box with newspaper right?
