    I wouldn't risk 2 day air with live stock it is already a lot of stress on things over night. JMO.

    I would do over night, the jawfish won't probably make it 48 hours without more oxygen. Most of the CUC should be ok with second day, but the fish and the feeder crabs, along with the star and seasquirt IMO need overnight. I'd rather be safe than sorry.
