Shipping corals and/or fish for 24 hours.

[Ruth]

Sometimes geographic location leaves us with no choice but to ship livestock as I have had to do for all of mine. Even when I do order from Vancouver I believe that they take it to the airport the day before the flight. I have not had too many problems it just means a longer acclimation. If I had my druthers I would not put livestock through this but unfortunately if I want a saltwater aquarium I have no choice. Even if I drove to pick it up it is a 15 hr drive from Vancouver and a 9 hour drive from Edmonton.
Bottom line - I think you will be fine as long as they package it properly for you.
