Second Nature Aquariums uses the best carriers and logistics teams available to us, to ship live tropical fish, invertebrates and plants to all Eastern states in Australia in the quickest and safest possible way. We began shipping live fish and other livestock across Australia in 2009. We are one of the few reputable companies who can deliver tropical fish, plants and other livestock in Australia.
We are highly experienced in airfreighting live tropical fish and plants. All live fish are carefully bagged in quality fish bags with Medical-grade oxygen, they are then packed carefully in airline approved insulated Styrofoam boxes. We use special heat packs during the colder months to ensure the fish have a reasonable consistent temperature whilst in transit. We provide an ‘Arrive Alive Policy’ to all live fish deliveries (Conditions apply).
