Shipping fish and corals in the cold snap
 

I'm considering a livestock order of corals and/or fish. It is a two-hour flight up here. It is going down to about negative 10 degrees celsius here lately.

Will the styrofoam insulation hold up to these temperatures or should I wait till spring?

I'd hold off if I were you, for now. Dont chance it. There are to many factors that may get in the way of your shippment ariving alive.
Just my 2 cents.

this time of the year they ship stuff with heat packs in the boxs. you should be ok if you are using a professional packer.

:rofl:

The thing I'd me more concerned about than packaging is transportation delays. If the weather kicks up with wind/snow, flights get delayed ect. This could leave your order out in the cold. (pardon the pun)

I'd hold off. Less stressful for livestock & you. Why chance it when you don't have to, eh.

OK I will go with the majority opinion and hold off on any shipments for now.
