nice sometimes to heard people complement about the way we ship fish. i particularly ship fish with just sufficient space and water for the fish, that's it. some other members of the group would like to ship with with tons of water.
i think, as long as the fish is comfy in there and they are not lack of water/oxygen, then that's good enough. one time, due to shipping mishap (which happened very frequently with some courier btw), my fish was held for more than 3 days. the shipping was meant to be a 1 day trip for the fish, arriving on tuesday, but our dearest courier decided to keep the fish longer and they arrived on friday instead. well, the minimal water/oxygen that i had been provided for the fish was more than sufficient for the fish to last a couple of days trip, that was proven when the new owner happily (but very nervous) opened the bags and found they're alive and well.
on the plus side, of course there is no problem shipping more water with the fish, but i just couldn't see the point. it's not as if the fish will be happier with more water. to the contrary, more water will mean the water is going to be colder (so I believe) when they arrived, no matter how many heatpacks you ship it with....
