Actually, that's not quite the full story. You have to have an account 
with Fedex for them to accept live fish. It's the possibility of water 
leaking that they are concerned about. If you establish an account and 
arrange it with them that you can ship live fish on that account, which 
involves certain packaging requirement, you can ship via FedEx. If you 
are a casual customer, they won't accept them.
