livebearer_breeder Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 exactly how alan says, there is no reason to send them in some sought of special package. Shae 250 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interfecus Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 I've been trying to work out how to post some but can't find bags that won't leak :evil: . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 Try "gladwrap" Alan 104 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wok Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 place it in a bag you get your fish in and tie a good knot in it and send it as a parcel. courier could be cheaper than post for parcels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killifan Posted November 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 i just went to Payless Plastics and bought small containers with tight snap on lids! cost less than .60c. I presume they will be ok in an airtight situation for a dasy or so? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 Just get two teaspoons off the mix, put it into a square of gladwrap and fold securely Flatten out the little sachet, seal in stamped addressed envelope and post. I just sent one to Gilly like that 45c cost Alan 104 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interfecus Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 Cool, I was adding extra water to it since that was how I originally got mine but I'll try again without. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pegasus Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 A simple way to send a small amount of Micro Worm is in an old film container.. (available for free from any chemist) Just leave a space in the top for air and you have the perfect sealed container. Bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke* Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 Very good idea Bill i think that will save a lot of hassles...now if I could just get a starter myself then I could pass it on to others... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
