Fish transport

With our help, you really can have healthy flying fish at 10,000 meters.

When fish or amphibians travel by plane, the wrong kind of transport can be life-threatening. So trust the experts at Gradlyn Petshipping.

Flying fish don’t always fly just above the surface of the water, at times they may also have to fly at altitudes of 10,000 m. But there are some important issues to consider when transporting fish and amphibians by air.
Gradlyn Petshipping has both the expertise and the necessary experience to handle the transport of fish and amphibians professionally and in a species-appropriate manner.


As early as 2008, our CEO Kay Wissenbach gave a lecture at the Animal Logistics Fair in Dresden on the shipment of amphibians, hermit crabs, shrimps, crabs, clams, snails, and a range of ornamental fish such as discus and angel fish, neons and tame koi.
The import and export of fish and their associated aquarium plants is very specialist undertaking in which it really is essential to work fast, otherwise these marine creatures could literally run out of air during transit.
