    SIA of course got fly to bangalore what. how you think I got there?

    I show you how to carry fish. it is legal entering SG to no problem. I use those 1.5l mineral water bottle, only small fishes, then pack them with 1/3 filled water, lying down horizontally so they always have that circular cross section of water no matter how they flip your baggage (unless on the narrow side). so just check in and fly.

    actually fishes will be delivered by special fish collector, these things cannot even buy one. I still have some in my tank from the recent trip. some strange barb. anyway just asking for fun, not too serious about it. in fact the main fish area is in calcutta.

    oh....that means i have not done that flight yet, must be rather new flight.

    anyway i never check in fishes, always hand carry.

    living beings u know, must be kind, gentle and caring mah....or else how to expect them to spawning for u and how to go to heaven

    no need to be kind lah. normally the collector hand to me in special 48-hour packs. I even carried them bouncing along on a 9-hour bus journey to and fro, then fly!

    my practice is, hours before flying, unpack the bags and see if water is smelly. if not smelly then just pour the stuff into the bottles (I always carry two bottles, a net, and a funnel heehee, wonder what the customs will think if they open my bag) making sure each bottle is not more than half-full. then tighten the cap, put everything in plastic bag (minimise rolling around if you have empty bag) and check-in. if hand carry may attract more attention.

    in SG the limit is 50 fishes in 3 litres of water. so plenty margin. my fishes always survive one because they are pack by pros and not ordinary LFS.
