I have a my Hawaiian Dragon moray arriving at the airport tonight. Intially it was supposed to land at 9:00 EST. I just checked my airway bill and now it is expected to land at 12:00a.mEST. I was considering getting a courier service to get the fish and deliver it to me. I spoke with one of the companies and they said after the plane lands it will take an additional 1 1/2-2 hours for them to release the fish. So I am looking at 2:00a.m and I live about 2 hours away from the airport without any problems with traffic or plane delays. Oh and also I have to be at work tomorrow at 7:00a.m. Back in the days in which i partied I would pull all nighters, but those times are gone. I have no idea what to do? Any input? Regards, Tim

Well, if it was a normal fish I would just say let it come to you. I had a Mac Angel that got lost by FedEx for 24 hours and was still fine after 42 hours in shipping.


But this is no ordinary fish!!!! Get him to your house ASAP!!!

How is it packed? How long in the bag? I think I would do a courier with that particular animal.
