Hi,I mail fish almost weekly,when I go to my postoffice,and forget to write
LIVE FISH on the box,they remind me to do so,or else they do it for
me.Never had no problem in the past,at any time,and hope it stays that
way.Good luck to all    Ruth
P.S Fed.Ex.will not except life fish,plants or anything life.
