Protection and Organization 

One of the key aspects of our packing process is the individual bagging of each fish in your order after a quarantine period. This not only ensures the safety of the fish during transportation but also helps in maintaining order and reducing stress on the fish throughout the journey.

Maintaining Water Quality

By double-bagging our freshwater and tropical fish and carefully sealing them with a combination of aquarium water and oxygen, we aim to preserve optimal water quality during shipping. We also refrain from feeding the fish 12 hours before shipment. This attention to detail minimizes the risk of water contamination and provides a healthier environment for the fish in transit. 

Weather Considerations

One of the key factors that often causes fish owners to stress during the shipping process is the weather. Our team closely monitors the weather conditions at the destination to determine if additional measures, such as hot or cold packs, are needed to regulate the temperature inside the package. This proactive approach helps safeguard the fish from extreme temperature fluctuations during their journey.

Ensuring Stability and Insulation

From securing bags together with plastic wrap to placing them in a styrofoam container lined with newspaper for stability, every step of our packing process is designed to ensure your fish are well-insulated and protected throughout the delivery process. 

At The iFISH Store, our dedication to meticulous packing procedures goes beyond just shipping the fish; it’s about ensuring your aquatic companions' safe and healthy arrival. With our commitment to quality and attention to detail, you can trust that when you order from our fish shop online, your fish will reach you in top condition, ready to bring joy to your aquarium.
