    Depends on what you're shipping.
    For delicate fish i like to use Southwest.
    That way it gets from you to the recipient within a couple of hours.

                Nope...if you can get some Kordon breathable bags you can ship them in very little water. Problem right now is going to be the temp...snowing in Denver. You can ship Fedex if you don't tell them what it is. Use a hand warmer pack if you can't get the ones for fish...like they sell at Academy or Gander mountain and tape it to the underside of the styrofoam top. 1/3 water...2/3 oxygen. Good luck.

                  I use priority mail with great success but my Bettas don't need a lot of water. I insulate the box with 1/2 foam insulation from Lows and double bag all my bettas incase the 1st bag leaks. I have some 40 & 60 hour heat packs if your in a bind and want them bad enough to drive down to TexasCity. I also have a few breathable bags & foam insulation & Priority shipping boxes, labels and tracking numbers........

                  He would have continued but at that moment my very obedient daughter who was listening leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little four-year old girl voice, 'Mom, what is butt dust?'

                        dont feed for 2 days
                        use bag buddies
                        3/4ths air 1/4th water
                        double bag
                        use heat packs depending on weather!
                        you also want the bags mostly solid and not flat.
                        flat means no air!!!
