Re: [Killietalk] Great bag buddies

["Earl Blewett" <Micro at earlblewett_net>]

Dear Wright et al.,

The fish were in Kordon 4 x 8 cm breather bags, double bagged with a heat
pack in an insulated styro. They were in water with dissolved bag buddies at
double the manufacturer's recommended strenth. I used 50 - 75 ml water per
fish, individually bagged. I shipped them from Tulsa, OK on Monday, Oct
24th. Fish I shipped the following Monday, Oct. 31, beat these makurdi to
their destination.  

I'm just glad the fish survived.

What kind of bags? Bag Buddies are a pill that can be added to ordinary fish
bags. Breather bags are shipped with no air inside. I'm appalled at the
slowness of Priority Mail, lately, but can't even faintly guess at what kind
of "bags" you are talking about.

BTW, a recent shipment from GA to here took 5 days, which I thought was
disgusting for a service that promises 2-3-day delivery. Fortunately weather
was mild and they all made it OK in old-style bags.
