Gunnar,

When shipping fish there are a lot of situations that come into play. One
thing that really seems to work for many of us is a pill called a bag buddy.
They slowly release oxygen through the shipment. The amount of fish is the
problem as I see it because depending on the size of the fish you can put 6
to 2 fish per box and the weight for postage will run about $30 per box.
Where I live I have always have fish shipped to me via Priority Mail USPS.
The shipper brings the box to the P.O. right before he knows that the box
will be put on a truck, and then when they arrive at my P.O. here in town
the employees call me and I go down at 0700 in the morning to pick up the
fish at the back door. Beings your number of fish is so high you may want
to check with a specialty shipping company.

Good Luck

HTH

West Palm Beach and Orlando are not *exactly* close. You may wish to post
your question over on the Koivet.com message board . . . there's a big show
coming up for AFKAPS, and a lot of folks are shipping fish. Or at least
maybe someone from that area would be able to help.

Do you wish to sell some of those fish right there in WPB?
