A recent video shared by The Trop Co., a UK-based online retailer of live tropical fish, demonstrated how proper packaging can insulate live fish and corals from the negative effects of the external environment during transit. It’s a simple and effective demonstration that shows how packaging and heat packs moderate temperature fluctuations during fish shipping, ensuring safe arrival at their final destination. Videos like these serve as a reminder that throughout the aquarium supply chain, if fish are otherwise properly handled, things really have to go awry for losses to occur.
