Recently I discovered a site dedicated to selling fish supplies (what else????).... One of the items offered immediately caught my attention -- Breather Bags... These bags are supposedly designed to allow oxygen in and carbon dioxide out - allowing a better environment of shipping fish... Have any of you had any kind of experience with this type of bag? You see, watching my baby platy fry growing daily - I've really been thinking of what I'll have to do once they reach a good size.... As I've advised in other threads, I already know that my lfs will be more than willing to take them.... However I've wondered if it would be best to offer them on this site (once they're big enough) with the only cost being the shipping and handling.... So these bags are of interest to me - but only if they truly work!
If anyone has had personal experience with these bags I would truly appreciate your feedback/comment.......
Thank you!
(ps Just in case you're not aware - I've never shipped any fish before! Don't really know much about shipping - so maybe the cost to ship wouldn't make it worthwhile to even post my free fish ---- ????????????)

To thine own self be true...

I ordered Endler's from a breeder and they were shipped in these bags. I didn't notice anything particularly special about them but I think I was more excited about my fish

This is a rather helpful article on shipping fish.
