HUGE shipment of BIG fishes at Big Al's in Richmond

[Zerandise]

you got it. The box charge kills any cost on fish. think how many show sized fish can you fit in one box from fiji with water? lets say you can fit say 6 show sized fish in a box with the water and packing. the box cost is in the hundreds. for 6 show size fish. the fish are cheap but until we teach them to swim over on demand it will cost a small fortune to ship them over.

just for fun call a shipper and ask how much it would cost to ship a box of water 2x2x2 (Lets say it only has 10 gals in it at 10 lbs a gal) from fiji to here in a plane that has a heated pressurize holding compartment. It must be shipped next day air as well. I bet it will come in over $300-400

Now add in the fact that you are paying someone to swim out to a reef and catch that fish. then for the holding tanks that put them in and the overhead that comes with it.

It's no wonder why the cost on those show sized fish would be as much as they are. Its alot of money from Marshal Island to your tank. Just something to think about.
