Default How long do you think zoos will live if shipped dry?
As the title says.


Some zoos were shipped to Calgary from BC, they were sent Thursday night.. I assume they are dead/dying right now.

Just curious to see how long they could last out of water while being shipped moist/dry.

Not necessarily, I've 'dry shipped' zoos that xpresspost lost for a few days - 4 days in transit and they arrived just fine.

Ship them under water for 4-5 days - you're going to have a smelly mess.

Zoas have survived on live rock shipments and lord only knows how long they are out of the water. Don't count them dead yet

When we ship in zoos from our suppliers in Indonesia, they are shipped wrapped in wet newspaper. Usual transit time is about 48 to 72 hours and they arrive fine.

Thanks. I was under the impression that they were shipped dry only because that's what you mentioned in previous PM's... my bad..
