I really wish I had access to a video camera, as from a previous topic there is much to the grab before the initial twist of the top. It would be nice if I could add that to your topic, as I think with the addition of that it would show a critical element.

I do have some links to reliable suppliers of bags in the US, these are suppliers I have used for years.

If anyone knows of some reliable UK suppliers it would be nice to add them, as well as anyone who is experienced with bagging adding a video. I would like to see this before pinning this, so this is a sort of work in progress at this point.

maybe when i get a chance

Easy really, what i do is wrap up each of the double bags in a few sheets of newspaper, then before line the box with newspaper and

place a heat pad at bottom of box, then place each fish bag in, all space left i cram full of screwed up newspaper tightly compacting

box, then on top another heat pad<in summer i only used one as fish i was sending were sub tropical...

If you can get the poly boxes from local fish shops or online, depending on fish your wishing to send get a box the appropiate size,


Then get name and adress and stick it so box does not have to be turned upside down, then also write in big bold lettering...

Live fish stock, please handle with care<keep this way up>

instead of cramming full of screwed up newspaper it would be better to put in packing peanuts

I think it should be pinned in the clasified section in livestock as how to bag and ship fish, also, add a few more steps on how to bag them, then it should be pin worthy
