I have some Paradise Fish (Macropodus opercularis) up for grabs. Here's what I have.
Here are some pictures though they do not do these fish any justice! These pictures are of pair #1.
To save on shipping, I also have some shrimp that can be purchased:
Shipping will be a flat rate of $6.00 for USPS Priority Mail service. An ice pack can be added for an additional $2.00 (recommended if temperatures are above 85 degrees).
Other Important Information
Packaging
I prefer to use USPS Priority Mail shipping. Their guidelines state that packages are delivered within 2 days to most locations. Please keep in mind that I cannot control the postal service. If your package takes more than two days, there is nothing that I can do about it and it certainly isn't my fault. I will only ship on Saturdays due to my schedule during the week. This typically yields a Monday delivery. If this does not work for you, please contact me prior to bidding/ordering to reach an agreement that will fit both of our schedules.
Guarantee
I guarantee shipments for up to 2 hours after the first delivery attempt as long as the package is delivered in two days. A digital picture clearly showing the DOA in the unopened bag must be received within 2 hours of delivery. I will refund the cost of the fish/shrimp only. I cannot refund the cost of shipping. If you'd prefer, I can send you another shipment but you would have to cover the cost of shipping. The guarantee only covers the number of fish/shrimp that you paid for (if you pay for 8 and I send 10 but you get 2 DOAs, you got the 8 you paid for). To date, this guarantee has not been needed--no DOAs!
- Breeding pair. They are about 3 inches long. They have spawned twice; however, I did not remove the fry to raise. $15.00
- Breeding pair. They are a bit smaller than the prevous pair. The male is about 2 1/2 inches and the female is about 2 inches. They have spawned one time. $10.00
- Two unsexed fish that are about 1 1/2 - 2 inches. I believe they are both males. $4.00 each or both for $6.00.

To save on shipping, I also have some shrimp that can be purchased:
- Red Cherry Shrimp juvies (Neocaridina species). $1.00 each
- Yellow shrimp juvies (Neocaridina species). $3.00 each. These are different blood than the other Yellow shrimp offered here on the forum. Limited availability.
*Note: These shrimp are of the same species. It is not recommended that they be kept together due to the fact that they can breed with each other.
Free upon request:- Ramshorn snails (various types).
- Malaysian Trumpet Snails

Other Important Information
Packaging
• Fish will be individually bagged in Kordon Breather Bags to minimize waste (ammonia, nitrate, etc.) buildup.
• Shrimp will be bagged per type in Kordon Breather Bags with no more than 25 shrimp per bag. They will have either a plant clipping or a bit of filter floss to "hold on to" during transit. This helps minimize stress.
• All boxes will be lined with 3/4" Styrofoam at no additional cost to help prevent temperature fluxuations and to help protect the fish/shrimp. Empty space within the box will be filled with newspaper or some other packaging material to prevent the bags from getting thrown around in the box. I try to minimize stress as much as I possibly can.
Shippingo *Note: Labyrinth fish, such as Bettas, Paradise Fish, and Gourami, will not be shipped in Kordon Breather Bags. These fish breathe air from the surface so they will be shipped in normal poly bags. They will have plenty of air pumped into the bag. Each bag will be double-bagged at minimum to protect from leaking, puncture, or rupture.
• Shrimp will be bagged per type in Kordon Breather Bags with no more than 25 shrimp per bag. They will have either a plant clipping or a bit of filter floss to "hold on to" during transit. This helps minimize stress.
