Direct Flight using Southwest Air Cargo, or since you are on the NW side find something like Contiental or Delta for Bush IAH.
You cannot take liquids as carry-ons more than 1.5 oz I believe
For that short of distance you might also consider FEDEX direct or US POSTAL overnight, but its sure cold right now!!380G For Sale $3000 Acrylic tank & stand

I think I saw it on simply discus but people were allowed to carry on a container with fish. They just had to prove the fish were alive in the container in order to prove that it is nothing more than water and not an explosive. They said that the NTSA guy said that its up to the agent when you go through but several people have been allowed to go through if they can show that the fish are alive. Or you can go like Geoff said.Comment

I have a friend in Pa. who's an invert breeder. She ships in winter but uses plenty of heat packs. She ships mostly USPS priority.

She's shipping shrimp and snails for the most part so doesn't have the concerns over oxygen that she would for fish.Originally posted by rockstarfish View Post
She lines the inside of the box completely with the close cell foam used for exterior insulation of houses. She isolates the heat packs from the bags with newspaper.
