Thanks bro Reddi for the info.
I checked further with YunFeng on this and the charges may not be as straight forward. When I bring in Betta, its usually a fixed price (around $10, even for a giant) because the water quantity and weight is quite standard, moreover the transhipper usually packs it optimally with their regular shipment which comes in standard-size styro boxes with estimate-able charges as long as the weight is not exceeded.
For FH, it depends on the size of the fish and packing (volume and weight) by the AB seller in order to know how it would fit in their regular boxes.
In a nutshell, before bidding, its best to check with the local transhipper, to get in touch with the seller and obtain a estimate of the total shipping charges beforehand. From my impression, it might potentially cost close to SGD80 even for regular 4-5" FH (just a ref, don't quote me!), as you'll need a reasonable volume of water.
