neoprodigy Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 After ACA2007 I went down to LA area.. got invited to check out how fish transhipping works.. This is how they arrived at the transhipper's warehouse.. before the repackaging and sent to LFS near you...

Qattarra Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 It's amazing they usually survive. Is it oxigenated water? Are they drugged? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackMumba Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 It's amazing they usually survive. Is it oxigenated water? Are they drugged? The fish are given a drug don't know what its called all I know they are drugged. I usually see this when a new shipment of fish arrive at Big Al's these fish are usually laying down, lethargic and unresponsive until the drug they use wears off. It looks cruel, but its probably better then having them awake for the 24 hour flight to the transhipers. The transhiper takes care of them straight away making sure of their health and give the fish time to rest usually, before reshipment to the lfs. Any unhealthy fish are not transported. Correct anything I have written that is incorrect, but this is what I am lead to believe to be true... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
