    Okay, I'm trying to give away a 9in pleco (PM me if you want 'em). If I need to ship it, how should I? I've been told that the popular Kordon Breather Bags are not an option because the pleco's spines are so sharp. Oh! It'd take about 2-3 days from here to anywhere in the US to get there, unless...
