Breather bag production stopped

[bulrush]

I thought this was important enough to people who ship animals, that I post this here. Original thread at:
http://www.petfish.net/forum/index.php? ... adid=33096

Here's the message:

-------------------------------------------------------
I contacted Kordon about the rumor they are discontinuing Breather Bags. The nice receptionist told me they had stopped production because they feel demand has fallen. They have alot of 4x8 & bag liners left, however at this time will not be making additional runs of breather bags.

I use these all the time, so I bought bulk from them, however I would like them to be available in the future. The receptionist said we EACH need to send an email to info@novalek.com stating we do use the breather bags and would like them to continue production. She said if they received enough requests, they would probably rethink the situation.

I just posted this to killietalk (if it went through).

Let your friends know.

Be sure to tell them WHY you like Breather Bags and that there is nothing else that works like it.

Thanks for letting us know! This is extremely important! Breathing bags are all I am using for shipping shrimp. They are perfect and I haven't had a single shipping related loss so far with thousands of shrimp shipped! Not only would I suffer but hobbyists would suffer, too, since their shrimp would be shipped in inferior fish bags.

I have emailed novalek already. I hope this information is not true, but I don't see any reason why anyone would lie about it. I encourage anyone interested in keeping shrimp to do the same.

I hope this gets around.
I can't believe Kordon is the only one with breathable bags. They're great!
Though I do assume the average aquarium hobbyist doesn't use them a lot themselves (I don't use them a LOT, but they're the only bags that I do or would use).
