How do the furcatas fair with shipping?

[itrack4u]

Please check your pm's.

[msjinkzd]

The furcatas do well with shipping.

[msjinkzd]

I dont see a pm from you itrack4u :)

[jackiomy]

Hi Rachel, How big are the goodieds? Do you think they would be okay in my pond?

[msjinkzd]

The fry are about 1", I do have some subadults as well that I could part with. They are temperate water (cooler water) and would do fine in a pond. They are also good algae eaters.

[pjrichar]

apistos?
i know you have had trouble getting them going, but just thought i would ask.

if not do you know a good contact for some inka that are not too pricey

thanks

patrick

[msjinkzd]

I have 40 apisto cacautoides "orange" fry in grow out now. They are 2 weeks old.

[pjrichar]

are you selling them as sexable adults later or sets of juvies?

and if juvies about how old before you sell any??

thanks

[msjinkzd]

well right now they are teeeeeny, just really becoming food seeking fully. I pulled them at day 1 of hatching when they still sat sort of still and mama guarded. Once they hit 1/2" I can sell them as groups unsexed for cheap, or grow them out until a sexable size. With cacautoides, it can sometimes be hard to tell the sexes until they are nearing maturity and get the tell-tale anal fin shape. So far so good, zero losses and 40 or so babies. I am also waiting on my aggis to spawn and my triple reds to pull the fry. Making a more concerted effort this time around.

I guess the clear answer is if you want them young in a group, they will be quite inexpensive. If I grow them out to sexable size, it will take more time and cost more for them.

[happypoet]

Msjinkzd, are your Norman's Lampeyes Wild or Captive bred?

[msjinkzd]

they are farmed

[happypoet]

Thanks! Do you expect to have them in stock for a while yet? Or are they running low?

[aviva90]

do you still have some of those amano shrimp left?

[msjinkzd]

I have plenty of amano shrimp.

I have probably 30 or some lampeyes left so I expect to have them at least another week or two.

[aviva90]

how old are those amanos? are they old enough to be in a freshwater tank yet? also how do you ship/fees?

[msjinkzd]

the amanos are about 1-1.25", so subadult. They are in full freshwater. I ship typically usps (priority is perfectly fine for amanos) which is from $5-10 depending on postal zone and quantity.

[pjrichar]

ok great thanks for info.. i will give couple of weeks and get back with you. if you are going to have some triple reds in the near future i would rather have them as I have some wild and domestic strains right now males of course. and i knew you had some apisto inka how are they coming along???

[blazingazn]

any atyoida pilipes available and at what price?

[msjinkzd]

They breed, I just have not pulled the fry and female is nasty to them once they become food seeking. I will try and pull the fry next time now that I have 2.5g tanks for the initial raising.


any atyoida pilipes available and at what price?

Yes, I have a few left at $5 each

[dougolasjr]

Do you have any other Neo shrimp Available.

[msjinkzd]

Not right now but I have colonies of blue pearls and yellows going.

[patrick.paul]

Got my furcatas today :) VERY impressed by Rachel (msjinkzd)!! The fish are beautiful, she packed in an insulated package with a cold pack and she even included extras!!

I would recommend her to EVERYONE here.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you Rachel!!

Best Regards,
Patrick

[pjrichar]

can you shoot me, pm me some prices for your apistos. I am going back and forth with anubiasdesign and you. he has some really nice apistos coming in, but ive seen pics of yours and they are stunning.

if and when you get some inka juvies going i will get me lazy but up and set up a tank for them.

[msjinkzd]

I am waiting on the inkas to spawn again, hopefully soon. I don't have any currently available. The apistos I keep are sort of for me, I dont' stress about collecting the fry or selling them. I have collected a bunch of apisto cac "orange" babies and am anticipating another triple red spawn as well.

This is the male of hte new pair I am working with (tefe "blue"). Hopefully soonas the female is in full colors now as well.

[cobfreak]

Wow that's really nice, I've never heard of that one.

[NVCichlids]

wow, once again you have several things I am looking for. Hopefully I can check for tank space :-)

[msjinkzd]

I will make a new thread at the beginning of the week. I have some home grown stuff to add (meteor minnows, abn, etc) as well as some new imports of fish.

[c campbell]

I am interested in getting some Green spikey nerites, zebra nerites, Pomacea diffusa babies and towuti white spot snails. I may pick up some plants as well and see that you may have plants other than what is listed. Do you have a list of other plants and prices? I need to find out what the shipping cost would be to Columbus, Ohio 43228.

Couldn't find an option to pm, so posted.

[msjinkzd]

I don't have a list of plants and prices, I grow all mmy own rather than importing. Let me know what you are looking for. As far as shipping costs, $8 to OH. You cannot pm because youo don't have enough posts. You can email me at msjinkzd @ aol.com (msjinkzd@aol.com)

[stephcps]

Hey Rach what is your experience with ameca splendens? I have a BBA issue. I have read inconsistent things about them with brush algae. Also in terms of aggression in a community tank?

[msjinkzd]

Well I know I used to have brush algae in their tank and no longer do and I did nothing for it. I have never specifically put them to the test. As far as a community setting, no clue. I have kept them with amano shrimp and cories but never with any other fish. They are boisterous and need a tank witha decent footprint. They are super super fun fish to keep for sure. I don't see them as being agressive as much as just plain energetic.

[Gypsy125]

Do you have any Malawa shrimp available?

[msjinkzd]

sure do :)

[shewolfgeo]

Hey Rachel, will you have some dario dario soon?

[msjinkzd]

I ordered them to come in this afternoon. Right now I have 6 in their tank. If they come in today, I will have plenty but will need to make sure they are healthy before sending them out :)

[shewolfgeo]

Wonderful.. I've been wanting to get more from ya. I can't get enough of them.

[msjinkzd]

glad to hear you like them! I find them beautiful and fascinating :)

[Juice]

Really like those lampeyes...when my 37 cycles, that's where I'm headed.

[msjinkzd]

their eyes GLOW in person :) Just let me know!

[Anita B]

I'd like to buy some spikey nerites and some zebra nerites. I have a 50g that I recently started plants in and am having a hard time getting it balanced and have lots of algae probs. I've read they eat green spot etc. well. How would 3 zebra and 2 spikey do in a tank that size? New to buying on here so please hold my hand... :P

Also what about some water sprite?

[msjinkzd]

They will eat green spot, but not as efficiently as they do the softer sheet algaes. That is the perfect stocking ratio for your tank size.
Also, you have learned my secret plant keeping shame...I am probably the only person who KILLS water sprite like its going out of style, sigh.

[Anita B]

Ok, Please tell me what I owe you then for 3 zebras and 2 spikey. Shipping is to 96015. Thanks!

[saram521]

Hahaha me too!! Everyone is like, "It's a weed! What will I do with all the EXTRAS?"

So, no furcatas this time around? I do like gertrudes, but furcatas are hotter :D

[msjinkzd]

I ordered furcatas and they came in as gertrudaes, so i won't have space for furcatas until I clear a species tank

[patrick.paul]

You'll definitely need to get some more furcatas in :) I feel bad keeping the last of your beautiful colony to myself! Even though I found out my neighborhood garage breeder had 100+ in a tank I always had overlooked... doh!

[jetajockey]

ive been looking for gerts (:

[_Mike_]

If you still have the dwarf chain loaches I will take 5 of them. Let me know.

Thanks

[msjinkzd]

I do :) I also have those new lao multi-striped loach, another species which stays under 1.5"

[_Mike_]

pm'd about those loaches. At least I think I did, sent email is the official term here.

[msjinkzd]

i didn't get an email. You can reach me at msjinkzd at aol.com

[petluvr]

Read in another post you have White Clouds, whatcha charging for them?

[Chris B]
