I also posted this question as a reply to a very old thread about Hawaii.
I just shipped 4 (6-8) month old Axies to Hawaii and unfortunately 2 of them did not make it. The other two are still alive but obviously physically stressed. It was the largest 2 of the 4 that passed. I think it might have been from oxygen deprivation as the flight was delayed 10 hours. I am doing frequent tank changes and adding ice packs to the water. They do seem to have improved over the past 24 hours. They are swimming (slower than normal) and eating. Their gills have gone from bright red almost back down to normal. Their veins system is showing more prominently. Any constructive advice given is greatly appreciated.
