DECEMBER sale thread- Reduced express shipping for fish!

[msjinkzd]

UPDATE 12/14/10 for availability

Due to some delays in shipping because of the holidays, express is required for all fish or priority at your own risk. Because I would much rather have express shipping, I am offering FREE heat packs, styros, and $5 off express shipping anywhere in the country. Delays this time of year are inevitable, but with express at least the shipping cost is refundable.
I will be making a picture thread hopefully tomorrow.

Sawbwa resplendens (asian rummynose) 2m/8f- $2

so thats 10 fish for 2 bucks? How much is shipping with heat (i know its free) to 01923?

[user_name]

oh, and will you have bolivians in the near future?

[msjinkzd]

no, the 10 fish are $2 each. I just listed the exact number as that is ALL i have and it can be challenging to get females.

I doubt I will carry bolivians as I am not into shorter bodied fish.

I do have the wild rams, but am unwilling to ship them with any potential for postal delay as they are not a "hardy" fish.

[shewolfgeo]

if only I have my Christmas shopping done..

[msjinkzd]

haha, i hear ya!!! :D

Forgot to put cpd's on the list, just added them

[machinehead26]

how much for 5 espei shipped to 19428?

[msjinkzd]

That is Conshohocken? Should be $13 with teh discoutn for express shipping and the fish are $2 each so $23. That is probably less than 2 hours, you would be more than welcome to come visit the fish room and take advantage of a 10% discount as well :)

[machinehead26]

I would love to, but my work schedule are super crazy so maybe next time:)
you're accept paypal right?

[nguyendetecting]

Glad to see you back in action =) nothing added for any apistos yet?

[msjinkzd]

paypal is preferred, but only as payment owed, no gift payments accepted.

I have viejita 2's ready. I am keeping my cac's that I grew out as I want to work hard at getting my wild male to breed (he keeps killing females). Moved him into a 55g with a ton of cac females. Cross your fingers.

[machinehead26]

payment sent!

[Jerzboi]

Here is one of the beautiful Dario Dario's jinkz sent me and is doing awesome!

[sabbath]

Any pics of the Viejitas?

[mel_20_20]

I sent you an email with my order, Rach. :)

[FallenAngel]

Dario Dario's look awesome!

I imagined them to be bigger than the ones I saw at my LFS.. Like 1" ?

[msjinkzd]

they are tiny, about 1" some even smaller

[amphirion]

[maxcow]

Hey I might be interested in some Dario dario, amano shrimp, some alder cones and i was also wondering if you had any cherries for sale. what would all this be shipped to 49686? pm me when u can.

[msjinkzd]

[msjinkzd]

Any pics of the Viejitas?

I will try to get some today. Someone needs to tell my life to SLOOOOOOOW down so I can catch up!


Here is one of the beautiful Dario Dario's jinkz sent me and is doing awesome!

Great shot! Looks wonderful :)


Hey I might be interested in some Dario dario, amano shrimp, some alder cones and i was also wondering if you had any cherries for sale. what would all this be shipped to 49686? pm me when u can.

Shoot me a pm with quantities and I can get you an accurate shipping estimate.

[xVitox]

Might have an excuse to stop by and check out your stock again! The plants you gave me are growing wonderfully by the way!

[msjinkzd]

glad to hear it! :) Just let me know!

[snuffy]

I'm in for some wild rams after the shipping delays are over =)

[bgourami320]

I would like to add some Dario's to my cory tank. Shipping to 11214?
That is if you have any left.

[msjinkzd]

express to brooklyn is usually about $20, so $15 with the discount.

[Thever]

Are the Amano's adult or juvies? Also shipping to 49341 ? Thank you.

[Modernwar11]

Hey Msjinkzd, what plants do you have for sale? (include prices)

[msjinkzd]

Are the Amano's adult or juvies? Also shipping to 49341 ? Thank you.

juveniles. shipping to 49341 is $28 with the discount (depending on quantity could be a couple dollars less, that is a 4# box estimate)


Hey Msjinkzd, what plants do you have for sale? (include prices)

Umm, I have java fern ($2 for young plant), narrowleaf java fern $4, java moss $3 golfball, broze crypts $3 each, guppy grass $1/portion; creeping jenny $2, willow hygro $3, anubias nana $5, anubias barteria $8, ummmmmm I am sure I have a lot more. If there is something low light you are looking for, shoot me a pm and I can let you know if I have it. I have plants in about 50 tanks so its hard to remember exactly what I have. I usually have to go down and peruse to see what I can split/share/sell.

[amazonadam]

[Modernwar11]

They're cones you can put in your aquarium to help against fungal infections, great for breeding.

[msjinkzd]

yup! small little cones that help prevent fungus. They also leech tannins nicely.

[AFBRC]

Do you ever get in Ameca Slendens?

[msjinkzd]

i breed them :) I also have another type of goodeid available as well which is red and blue (have to go down tot he tank to write down the name's spelling but its something like xenotaca eiseni)

[Turbosaurus]

Hey stanger, how come there aint no A. Cacs on that list ;)
Hope all is well.
Paula

[msjinkzd]

updated as of today's availability

[user_name]

how long untill would you be willing to ship bolivians? Also, how much would shipping be for 4 bolivians and 5 habrosus corys to 01923? (Would need a heatpack)

[msjinkzd]

Hey stanger, how come there aint no A. Cacs on that list ;)
Hope all is well.
Paula

becaus I am hording them all!!! Great to see ya Paula!!


how long untill would you be willing to ship bolivians? Also, how much would shipping be for 4 bolivians and 5 habrosus corys to 01923? (Would need a heatpack)

I don't carry bolivians, just wilds. And it won't be until the weather is much more stable though they are available for pickup now.

[AFBRC]

Oh sweet. How much do you sell them for? I don't have any room right this second but am very interested in both the ameca splendens and the xenotoca eiseni. =D

[msjinkzd]

I only have a couple ameca fry avaialble which are $1 each. The adults are $5 each. The xenotaca eiseni fry are also $1 and I have several of those ready to go or you can get a reverse trio of adults for $20

[AFBRC]

Great! I'll probably wait til its warmer and I have more room lol Thanks!

[petluvr]

When's the next chance to get some Sawbwas?

[swissian]

Do you know when you will next have some dario darios in stock? Also, do you sell mixed sexes but do not guarantee that I would get both?

[msjinkzd]

I don't know if I will get more sawbwas.

As for the darios, I have one package left to ship out (waiting on cooperative weather at the destination) then I will know what my exact stock level is. I will likely order more in January assuming I have teh cash after christmas (3 kids are expensive!!).

As for females, I often have ones that I suspect are females, but am leery of giving a 100% assurance as its just too hard to tell. They are rounder, often more drab, adn move in a different manner but submissive males can act teh same way.

[swissian]

Let me know when you get more in stock then! Have a merry christmas!

[msjinkzd]

:) you as well!

[cam191919]

still have RCS i hope?

[Amante_di_Betta]

Rach: After Christmas and New Years, I need 2 more plecos..mine died and Im not sure why..but they are cute little creatures, so I may get a few more than I had before..I lost the entire tank..5 baby angels and the 2 plecos.

[msjinkzd]

Yup! Still have RCS :)


Gary, just let me know!

[Lillyan]

What happened to the Rams?

[msjinkzd]

The rams are still here, lol. I don't watn to ship them when its this cold so they are available for sale by pickup. I might be willing to ship them if we have a warmer snap.

[Lillyan]

Oh ok, that's good. What kinds were they?
I got 5 from a petstore[bought all they just got in a few minutes earlier], not sure if they are German blue or Bolivian, though. Cute either way!

[msjinkzd]

They are wild rams. Mikrogeophagus ramirezi

[Piranha86]

Do you ever gett betta simplex females?

[msjinkzd]

I had some but sold them. I could probably get more but not sure when I will unless I import them from the wild. I can see if my local friend has more f1's avialable.

[Piranha86]

Ok, thanks. If I get a new tank with xmas money, I might get a pair.

[msjinkzd]

They are FAR more expensive for me to import from the wild then my cost to get them domestically so I will try to go the domestic route for you first. I will need a few weeks notice if I will need to get them from the wild so that I can order and qt them :)

[Piranha86]

Sounds like domestic would be better :)

[wanabedriver]

Out of curiosity, how much would it cost to ship 3 or 5 Habrosus cories and a coconut hut to 90024?

Thanks and Merry Christmas.

[msjinkzd]

Express shipping would cost $31 to your zip code (with the discount for feb). The fish and hut would be around $10-12 depending on how many habrosus. It would be guaranteed next day by noon.

[martialtheory]

Hey I was just wondering, when is the next time you will get darios or rainbowfish?

[msjinkzd]

I have a handful of darios left. I would like to order again in the next few weeks, but it depends on my finances as I depleted my balances to have christmas for my kids, lol. I am *hoping* in january to order.

[hydrophyte]

Hey Rachel are you able to get Aplocheilichthys killis?

And can you get female Betta simplex?

[msjinkzd]

I can order female betta simplex. I doubt I will get in killis as its just not cost effective but I can check it out.

[hydrophyte]

I might ask you about some other fish but I am going to do some more research first. I have a new little setup in an 11-gallon tank and I want to get some cool fish for it.

[msjinkzd]

Sounds good. The only issue is that I typically have to bring stuff in in groups of several hundred so only bring in special orders if it seems like several people woulld be interested. I have open ears and a willing mind though so let me know!

[hydrophyte]

Ok I remembered one other species that I had in mind, Danio choprae. Do you think that might be possible?

It seems like a popular fish, so they might move well for you(?).

[msjinkzd]

sure, they are on the lists. I can try them the next time I order fish (hopefully by the end of january)
