Acurel ammonia pads for shipping and bagging

[Razberry910]

Has anyone used little cubes of Acurel amonia reducing pads for bagged fish and shrimp when shipping or for auctions?

I think this is the correct product but I want to make sure.

I generally use liquid AMQUEL by Kordon. But I have _seen_ squares of these in bags shipped up from FL fish farms. I'd definitely add a square. Most important is oxygen, unless you're using breather bags.

I'm not shipping quite yet. I'm just bagging for a local auction. standard plastic bags, I don't have oxygen just air.  I imagine the longest the fish would be in bags is around 12-14 hours.

Aim for 2/3 air and 1/3 water if possible.
