Its much more than that. Many fish stores dont really care where they get their fish from, they could order clear across the continent. THe fish are horribly stressed, sit on hot docks for hours, sloshed around etc. Thats one of the reasons why many fish die when the store receives them, or become ill in the tanks...

However, fish are transported in styrophone containers in plastic bags pumped full of pure o2. (at least thats what the provider did at my lfs when i worked for them).
