Aquarium Co-Op Rubber Bands (1lb bag)

> Description

Great for bagging fish or plants Made in the USA Large quantity, perfect for stores, breeders, and fish rooms The right rubber bands makes bagging fish and plants much easier. After the rubber bands we used for 15 years were discontinued by the manufacturer, we decided to make our own. We made them slightly longer, to fit 2 fingers when using as a fish bag rubber band and had them printed in green. We tried other off the shelf solutions but they just weren't what we needed, so we took on the task of having rubber bands manufactured. Now we have the rubber bands we want, and so can you. Whether you're a home hobbyist, a store, a wholesaler or a breeder, these rubber bands will get the job done. Dimensions: 0.250" Flat length 0.125" Wide 0.040" Thickness
