FS: Paradise Fish (Macropodus opercularis) - Will ship

[oO.Crim.Oo]

I have about 20 young Paradise fish to get rid of. About 9 of them are over 1/2" and the rest are still under 1/2". I may be able to sex some of the larger ones, but I will make no guarantees. $2 per fish. Let me know if you want the bigger or smaller ones. I also have some red cherry shrimp (unsexed juvies) that I can sell to the buyers of the paradise fish for $1 each to make shipping more worth the price. Shipping will be $10 in an isolated box with a 40 hour heat pack.

Unfortunately, because I'm waiting on my heat pack order to arrive, I will not be able to ship them out until Monday, March 31st. If the heat packs get to me sooner than I expect, I will be more than happy to ship out this upcoming Monday or Tuesday but I don't want to promise something I have no control over.

Here are some pictures of the fish. They are in the container for picture purposes only, I don't keep them in there. These are the actual fish I will be shipping out. The pictures are of the larger ones.

Please do your research on the fish if you don't already know about them. Also, I will not be held accountable for shipping issues. If you're not going to be home when they're scheduled to arrive, are going on vacation, etc. That is not my problem. I will work with you to ship at your convenience but once I send them out, it is your responsibility to be available to receive the package.

Feel free to ask questions.

so are you offering live arrival then? if we do our end of the bargain i might be interested

 

[oO.Crim.Oo]

Oh absolutely. I'll ship them USPS priority with a heat pack ($10) and I will guarantee live arrival, but I will not refund the cost of shipping. A picture of the fish in the unopened bag within 2 hours of delivery and I will refund the cost of the fish. I think that's pretty much standard procedure.

If you'd prefer to have them shipped via USPS Express and are willing to pay the extra cost to do so, send me your shipping info I will get you a price.

I have kept mine with Tiger Barbs, Corydoras, and bristlenose plecos without too much problem. Although, I do have a couple of tiger barbs that are missing an eye. I point my finger at the paradise fish for that. They can be aggressive when they are breeding. They are bubble nest breeders and anyone that gets near it will be chased off. They don't chase to kill though, in my opinion as they've never killed a tank mate.

I put mine in with angels and the first five minutes she was in there she took half of one of my angels tails off. My experience with them is that they are mean. Mine now lives in my pond in my backyard with my foot long koi, whom she can't hurt.

I just thought of it--if you would like ramshorn snails or MTS with your order, let me know and I'll toss some in for free.

Also, I forgot to mention that payment should be by paypal.

 

[oO.Crim.Oo]

My heat packs are in. All orders received by 8pm (EST) will be shipped out on Monday.

Paradise fish: $2 each
Red Cherry Shrimp: $1 each (with paradise fish orders only at this time)
Free ramshorn and/or trumpet snails upon request.
Shipping: $10 flat rate via USPS Priority Mail--includes styrofoam lined box and 40 hour heatpack. Additional heatpack can be added for an additional $2, but likely won't be necessary. If you'd like quicker shipping (USPS Express, UPS, Fedex), PM me your zip and I will get you a price.

Payment by Paypal preferred.
