What can I carry my fish in when I move on the plane?

He can’t be carried as carry-on so it will have to be in your suitcase I’m sorry but put handle with care on the bag and put the fish in a small closed tank with air. Hope this helps!!

being the nice guy I am I contacted 3 major airlines (American, Continental, and Delta.) All the airlines told me the same thing. Since you can’t check or bring water as a carry on, no goldfish. I would recommend shipping your beloved goldfish. You can find out information on shipping the goldfish at your local post office or by calling 1-800-ASK-USPS (275-8777.) (say more options then other information then shipping a goldfish) I tried to call but there offices are closed right now there open M-F - 8:00am-8:30pm ET Sat - 8:00am-6:00pm ET Sunday - Closed Holidays - Closed except for: Martin Luther King Jr., President’s, Columbus, and Veteran’s Days, 9:00am - 6:00pm ET. They should be able to answer any questions you have. Safe travels, Will

btw you can get one of those vacation feeders they have at walmart to put in the tank with him so he will have food and won’t die of starvation

correction I got this from ehow it is for buisness shipping fish but will apply to the current situation 1.

  1

  Refrain from feeding your fish 2 days before you bag them for live shipping. This prevents them from soiling the shipping bag while they're in transit.

2.

  2

  Place the fish in 1.5 to 2 milliliter plastic bags. The longer the bags the better. Put one fish in each bag, except for small fish like killifish. Label each bag with an adhesive tag.

3.

  3

  Fill the bag with the minimum amount of water necessary. Each bag should be no more than 1/3 full of water. Pump the bag with regular air or oxygen, then twist and tie it closed. You can use a rubber band to secure the tie.

4.

  4

  Label your box inside and out and ship immediately after packing. Ask the postal clerk when it will be delivered.

5.

  5

  Call your customer and let them know when the live fish will arrive so they can make arrangements to receive and open the shipment immediately.

6.

  6

  Insulate your shipping box with polystyrene thermal insulation and packing peanuts. Put Styrofoam shelves between each bag. Ship overnight or express mail in cold or inclement weather to prevent harm to the fish.

I know you said you don’t want to ship the fish because you are afraid it will die but with the current regulations on air travel your only options are to ship it or travel by land to your destination

Fantastic advice priceroonie.

thank you

I called tsa and they told me i can bring him on the plane in a tuppaware container. They said that they allow fish because goldfish cannot live in contaminated water.
