A Professional, Responsible, and Fish-First Approach

Shipping live aquatic animals requires experience, patience, and precise execution. We do not rush shipments, and we do not compromise preparation — because professional export begins with respect for life.

1

Order Confirmation & Fish Reservation

Once an order is received, the exact fish is reserved and locked to match the confirmed selection — no substitutions.

2

Dedicated Pre‑Shipment Care

The reserved fish is kept separately under controlled conditions and monitored to maintain stability before shipping.

3

Pre‑Shipping Fasting (Minimum 7 Days)

Feeding is stopped at least 7 days before shipment to reduce waste and prevent water contamination inside the bag.

4

Final Health Assessment

Each fish is checked for overall condition and readiness. Only healthy, stable fish are cleared for export packing.

5

Multi‑Layer Protective Bagging

Each fish is packed using a minimum of two high‑quality bags to reduce risk of leaks or punctures during transport.

6

Pre‑Conditioned Clean Shipping Water

Shipping water is prepared at least 7 days in advance to allow chlorine and harmful substances to dissipate fully.

7

One Fish per Bag Policy

One fish per bag — always. This reduces stress, prevents injuries, and ensures oxygen stability during the journey.

8

Optimal Water‑to‑Air Ratio

We keep water volume at approximately one‑third of the bag, leaving sufficient oxygen space for safe breathing.

9

Pure Oxygen Injection

Each bag is filled with pure oxygen to provide clean, stable airflow across the full transit period.

10

Safe Travel Duration

With proper preparation and packing, betta fish can travel safely for approximately 5–7 days.

11

Continuous Monitoring & Repacking

At every handoff, the fish is checked by the carrier and trans‑shipper. If anything abnormal is observed, the fish is repacked immediately.

Our Commitment

Every shipment reflects the same standard: calm preparation, professional packing, and responsible handling. For full terms, destination handling, and DOA policy, please review Export, Shipping & DOA Policy.
