Any time i have had fish courriered from a fish shop, the dearest price i paid was £18 !

But maybe that was because the fish shop has a deal with a Courrier Company to let them do all their courriering and that keeps the price down.

A few months ago i was thinking about driving up to robs would of been a about a 1000 mile round trip and the cost was with out fish £340 so anything under £100 i am MORE than happy to pay! it is just the O2 situation would 16 hours in a big bag like the LFS do be alright? or wouldn't any of you chance it?

There is always a risk with courriering, but sometimes it is the only way to get the fish you want.

I don't think its the oxygen you need to worry about as much as the tempature when they are getting delivered.
I lost some apistogrammas i was getting courriered, that was in January when the tempature was below zero the night they were getting transported, but any other fish i got courriered in the summer months, i have not had any problems with.
Trimar, who send their fish by courrier, is in on the South coast of England, and i live in Scotland, which is a good journey.
