ctaylor3737 Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 They are durable. I literally squeezed one hard, threw it on the floor and nothing. Did the same with Kordon and pop lol. So durable they got them beat. Wonder if the air exchange works the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted July 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 I haven't lost any live stock in them yet, so that's a plus. ctaylor3737 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted July 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 I'm still getting used to them though. I actually enjoy the feel of the Kordons better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soothing Shrimp Posted July 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 Yeah. Fine if you have a heat sealer and are willing to do the extra work. I just don't like the extra work involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evodrgn Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 I've never shipped shrimp before but after reading this thread which do you prefer Soothing? I'm going to attempt to ship shrimp this coming year if all goes well for my colonies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted July 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 I prefer Kordon, but for now the price has Kordon beat and are much more sturdy. Also the shrimp tend not to stick in teh bag when releasing. After these bags are done, I'll prob go back to Kordon again though. Just because I like the textural feel better.

Subtletanks91 Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 I like poly bags because of sturdiness but I definatly like the kordon for feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dukendabears Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 Yes i have had quite a few kordons with leaks too, thankfully i caught it before shipping. ctaylor3737 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctaylor3737 Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 Yes i have had quite a few kordons with leaks too, thankfully i caught it before shipping. I dry mine off and let sit for a little bit to make sure. Then I wrap them in newspaper and let it wait a minute to check for leaks then I pack it.

Soothing Shrimp Posted August 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 I just bought Kordon again. About 2x more expensive, but I just like them more. As soon as they come in, I'll be posting my Ultimates up in the market section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DETAquarium Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 What size Kordon Breather Bags do people use for a 7x7x6 box? What size do you use for an Express box/Medium Flat Rate? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
