Breathing Bags!!!

That is how my black nasties were shipped to me 2 day shipping and only lost 1 out of 8 juvis. I lost him to brain damage I don't believe it was oxygen related. I approve.
got some samples when i worked at an lfs and they worked great. we tried them out by putting 3 goldfish in the bag and filling them completely and sealing them up. the goldfish were still alive 3 days later when we took them out. they were no worse for wear. i dont see why they are not in use already all over the place. i found them to be pretty high tech when i saw them
Ok here is my story......
We had a guy that was collecting in Bolivia and they found some pike that they had never seen before so they sent some of them with a couple of their friends to another one of their friends that works at the Smithsonian Institution so that they could catalog them.
Well they sent them in the breather bags so when the "delivery people" looked in the box they saw bags with no air so they thought that they had sent preserved fish and not live fish so they went into a storage room.
When the guys that had sent the fish called to see how see liked the pikes she said that she hadn't gotten a chance to look at them. They were freaked out because at this point it had been 5or6 weeks but when she went and opened the box the fish were alive! They were thin and hungry but they were alive.
I'm sold!
