yes the blue stuff helps keep the fish claim so they do not use too much oxygen. When I go to auctions fish will be in bag for the entire day until late that night, and I have yet to lose one in the blue water.

I have been burned by shippers before, so when a fish dies and then they have ones they said they didn't I fear is all. Glad to see they made it okay

yah the blue water is always used when fish are shipped. keeps them calm, cuz when they stress they use more oxygen. and that bag doesn't have enough as it is. some fish stores even use it now like goldfish world jus to keep the fish less stressed.

fish are lookin good dude!
