I was trying to be sure that as a newby to shipping, regular bags weren't
accidentally used with no air per Joe's comment. ?I know that Joe was
reffering to shipping with no air in breather bags only but just wanted to
make sure that was obvious.

I reciently used two ordinary bags with no air space of any kind. They were
packed with fish and double bagged. They endured at least two days in the
postal system and arrived at their destination alive. The other breeder was
quite surprised. My understanding is that ordinary polyethyene bags also
breathe. I dislike the "breather" bags because the plastic is so stretchy.
