RE: Amquel in shipping bags
Here Here! Amquel is great!
I just shipped two 6 inch bags with 5 zebrafish each, 750 ml of water, O2,
and a bit of Amquel to Hong Kong and they were fine in customs and 100F
weather for 5 days. I wasn't holding my breath during the delay but I was
hopeful and they made it.
RJ- is you water quality significantly different from the source? What
species did you get?

><{{{>Hi Folks,
><{{{>
><{{{>I just learned something new which I would like to share with you. I
><{{{>recently received fish packed with Amquel in the bags.
><{{{>
><{{{>They got here after several days of shipping and they were in
><{{{>very good
><{{{>shape. Hurray for the Amquel.
><{{{>
><{{{>But when they hit my soft water they all but burst into
><{{{>flames. They went
><{{{>into shock despite the fact that I dripped them in over
><{{{>almost an hour.
><{{{>They "floated" to the surface unable to sink and were "breathing" very
><{{{>rapidly. Despite the fact that they did not actually lose
><{{{>their balance or
><{{{>go belly up it took them about three days to recover. I did add a few
><{{{>handfuls of salt to push up the TDS of the water and IMHO I
><{{{>think it did
><{{{>save the fish.
><{{{>
><{{{>So just a note of caution, always drip in your fish slowly
><{{{>and if you ship
><{{{>the fish in Amquel or something else mark the bags so that
><{{{>the recipient
><{{{>knows. There is very often too little water in the bag for
><{{{>the recipient to
><{{{>do many meaningful tests on his end.
><{{{>
><{{{>
><{{{>Best regards,
