Not sure if this is the right place to post but figured I’d give it a shot. I’m moving from Florida to Colorado I sold most all the of my live stock but I kept my 2 clowns and a few snails. I intend to ship them overnight with ups the day before I hop on my flight, but apart from that I have no clue how to ensure they arrive safe. I would appreciate advice from anyone who has experience with shipping their fish. Thanks In advance.

Up north around the fort collins area
Ah cool! Used to be in the greeley area for school then moved back south to Centennial! Have you ever been to animal attractions in Greeley? Went once a while ago when I had a freshwater tank and they seemed to have some cool saltwater fish! Debating if its worth the 2 hour drive lol

Take them on the plane with you. Triple bag them just before you depart for the airport and ensure there's amole air in the bag (most fish stores will also supplement with pure oxygen).
Unfortunately not an option to take them w me I’ll already be flying with 2 cats hands will be full :/

When you get in and settled ill cruise you over know the owners and they are limited retail. They do tank maintenance but trying to start in the retail side of things....only open friday 9-5 and limited hours on sat. for retail. But I would love to introduce you to them for sure....i would say 50% of my coral comes from them and the other 50 from local reefers.

Sounds like a plan, do y’all have a reef chat up there? Here in Miami all the hobbyist in the area made a big group chat to sell/trade.
