How do you ship live fish?

and I may be wrong, but I think it's illegal to throw people in the trash.

What does everyone think of kordon breather bags.
I will be test shipping GBR in the next weeks and just ordered some.
Kind of thought anything less was "sub" standard?

I just received a 15'x6" roll for my heat sealer, but they are a waste if the fish is being shipped overnight. Otherwise they are great. I ordered mine from Joe Gargas and I like them better than kordon's. Joe's bags are a bit thicker on top of being cheaper price wise, likely due to the lack of a big name being printed on it. Ted Judy of tedsfishroom.com has excellent videos on YouTube about the proper use of breather bags if you want to check those out.

There's also a chemical called methalyne blue that acts as a large source of oxygen in the bag, if you were to get serious about shipping fish than there are a few helpful videos on YouTube that go through it step by step.
