Default Fry........

yup. altho the boxes can be considerably larger for koi. and it is
good to quit feeding the koi for a week before, cool them down and
pack the box with ice packs (NOT DRY ICE!!!). ALSO, a squirt of
ammolock is a good idea, but dont use bag buddy or other medications.

As I understand it, koi are usually shipped one or two to a pack, which
consists of a bag of water pumped with oxygen (1/3 water, 2/3 oxygen) in
a roughly 2ft. by 2 ft. styrofoam box. You can get larger bags and
boxes, but the key is that you don't want the fish moving around a lot.
