The thing about cheato is it needs oxygen to live so after about 2 days in an air tight bag, it will start to die off.
also, you don't need to pack it with heat. HTH

ok. so either ship overnight or get a fish bag and ship that way, correct? I do not have access to any shipping bags as I have never shipped anything before.
Someone wants to buy some of my chaeto.

Overnight is always preferred but it shall be OK for at least two to three days, depending on the temperature and if shipped in small cooler styrofoam boxes. No colling or heating packs needed this time of year.
