Aquatic Arts 10 Breather Bags for Shipment or Transportation of Fish, Shrimp, Aquatic Animals (Compare to Kordon Breathing Bag)

Successfully used these to transport my small community fish 3 hours to a new city. The bags are somewhat small tho- would not fit my large fancy goldfish in them.

These bags are very small. I had trouble closing these bags with my fish in them. The current fish I own are Corey's and red wagtails. My biggest wagtail is about 2.25 in. With these bags being so small. there was barely any room for the fish to move around. Luckily, I only needed the bags for a 30 minute drive.

I love this product, i had gotten fish while away at school on a bit of an impulse and did not think through when school was over having to move them back home. I was a panicked on what to do and was trying to find any fish bags but when i found these i was very interested. I got them in hopes of them being able to survive about 8 hours in these bags though realistically to get the tank set up they were in there closer to ten hours. They did exactly what they said they would, all fish survived the transport and are still doing quite well. I had a car ride home so i was with the fish the entire time and able to monitor the bags. If you are shipping them i would definitely double bag them and put them in some form of cooler just in case the bag breaks. I used small rubber bands to tie the bags shut they are too small to be able to tie them shut.

Short summary: I never write reviews, but THESE BAGS ARE PHENOMENAL (for smaller fish) so I had to!I recently moved across the country and wanted to bring my fish with me. I purchased these bags with the hope that my fish (a small-medium goldfish that is the length of my pinky finger) would survive transport through USPS, since I was unable to take it with me on the plane. I carefully added my fish in clean water to the bag with enough room to heat the open edge with an iron and cloth to form a seal (do not attempt alone). Then, I twist-tied and rubber banded the top of the bag and taped a paper towel over the top so that no water would leak (be sure to test it prior to sending). I lined a Priority Mail Express box with aluminum foil, packed in stuffing from an old pillow, and gently placed the fish breather bag inside covering it with more stuffing. I also added a small ice pack (away from the bag itself) to keep it cool during the hot summer days during transport.I sent it Priority Mail EXPRESS which was guaranteed money back if I did not receive my fish on the next day by 6pm... the package ended up being lost in transit and no one knew where it was for 3 days until I finally received it with no notification (ON MY PORCH IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HOT 105 DEGREE AFTERNOON). I thought there was no way my fish made it through the transit, but to my surprise it was lively and active just like when I put it in the bag!If you have a smaller fish, my fish's size is the max size I would put in the bag alone, PLEASE USE THIS BAG! It really is a game changer!

They were smaller than a sandwich bag.
