        This is the kind of comment that is most interesting,  blame the 
product not the packer............  I have been using breather bags 
exclusively for 6 years, I ship 4 to 6 boxes of killies per week.

        I think that I have had one bag leak in the 6 years!  . I use 
60-70ml of water per killie, heat seal the bag flat ....   one bag hold two 
fish separated, I then double bag the pair in another breather 
bag.........................

        My longest experience is 17 days for a shipment and everything 
arrived in great shape.................

        This reminds me of the e mail I got  a while back from a killie 
keeper who had ordered and received 3 pr of killies,  It went something 
like this  ..............."  I received your shipment this morning, all 
fish were healthy and alive and I am happy to report that they are actively 
swimming in their new home. Although they have only been in their new tank 
for a few hours, they are already eating and sparing with each other.     I 
do not know how you can be so cruel  to  the fish, they were in so little 
water  . you should learn to ship fish in sufficient water for the 
fish....................................."
