Yah ... I guess that's easier than just mail-ordering the fish directly.

Well I dunno... like I said... that's what I'd do. If mail-order wasn't an option then I guess I'd have to look at other options but if it was a choice between a trip where I can make the purchase and be home on the same day, versus where I have to make the purchase on a DIFFERENT day than the travel day, I'd choose "door #1."

Like has been mentioned many times, these animals suffer longer travel times on their first trip into North America anyhow. BUT .... that's not to say that if they survive it once, they'll survive it again and again thereafter. There is some risk, never will be zero risk.

My $0.02..
