kitstyles Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 (edited) Great News for those who has been waiting for a substitute for Kordon Breathing bags! I have personally tested these bags with GOLD FISH, CRS and Neon Tetra. After 10 days, I've lost one neon tetra and the rest were still alive however I didn't go any further for humanity reason. The size of the bag is 15cm x 25cm which makes it a good fit for Small fishes and Shrimps and it can be reuse as many times as you want. Here is some more pictures: <Correct <Incorrect The correct way to use these bags is not leaving any air in the bag as I showed clearly in the pictures above. I am going to give away few tester to the first 8 Users and all I am asking is to post your comments about this product in this thread. If you interested please PM me with your name and postal address. Edited July 31, 2012 by KitzLovesBettas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettarazzi Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Hey Kitz! Welcome back. Haven't seen you around in a while. Presumably these bags aren't suitable for bettas, gouramis etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fletch Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Very interesting. As Razzi said, no good for Betta???? How do these work, why are they different to ordinary bags? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillieOrCory Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 The bags are not suitable for any fish that requires ordinary air. Any fish or aquatic organism that 'breathes' in water is perfectly fine in this type of bag. The bag is made from special plastic which allows for air transfer but the pores of the plastic is too small for water to seep through. I myself am looking forward to trying these bags. It can potentially make fish posting much more economical as you can put more bags of fish into the same styrofoam box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lachie1998 Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 wow 10 days! thats realy good did you test for ammonia nitrate nitrite ect??? has there alredy been 8 people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitstyles Posted August 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Like Serka said, I don't think they are any good for bettas as we all know Betta breath from the water surface but they would be really good for fish like L-numbers, Killies, CRS etc. I will be getting some bigger sizes for bigger fish like discus if anyone interested. Btw I've already posted the first lot of testers out and if anyone else interested please pm me lachie1998: I haven't test the ammonia nitrate or nitrite as I assume they would not live if they were too high but I will test it next time.

CNgo2006 Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 I have received my tester bags, will comment in a few days after testing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitstyles Posted August 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Glad that you have received it already, just remember don't feed your fish before bagging them. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNgo2006 Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 (edited) I have tested these bags and I didn't have any problems. I received 2 of these bags in the mail to test, with one I sent some shrimp to QLD and the other I tested by putting feeder fish in (had them in there for 3 days no problems). So in conclusion these bags are an excellent sub for kordon breathing bags, thanks Kitz for the tester bags. Edited August 11, 2012 by Chi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
