Soothing Shrimp Posted November 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 Ch3f, yeah. I know, it's like taking $100 bills and lighting them on fire right? At least that would be more direct. LOL But yeah, I'm gonna try. Bost, thanks. I'm looking at around spring when it warms up enough to receive them. Extremely cold here in the winter, and not sure how they would fair in extreme freezing temps in the mail.

woopderson Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 I know Randy sometimes imports them, but then there is a Canada to US challenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricM Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 I know Randy sometimes imports them, but then there is a Canada to US challenge. by challenge you mean illegal to ship over the border unless you have import license? Ive been seeing people lately ordering from another place in canada. be aware, customs catches one of them and as the buyer you'll get screwed hard core with a LARGE fine. I'm also aware that a couple places have been listed with customs so they are watching. some of my product comes over the border and i've had to fill out some paper work for that. Ch3f, yeah.

woopderson Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 Yeah I know the laws are pretty strict about imports and such, and that you do need a license for it. Challenges indeed! EricM and JayMarshal 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure about it. as far as I know, you only need import license for commercial use, means you resell your imports. If you keep it for your own enjoyment, you don't need import license. Customs may charge you tax, not sure about this part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sbarbee54 Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 No brining in any plant or animal not native to the United states requires a import license for person on commercial use. Speedie Caries them blue crown sky fish farms or whatever it is in San jose. EricM and Soothing Shrimp 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedie Caries them blue crown sky fish farms or whatever it is in San jose. I was operating under this impression as well. During the TPT days, when mordalphus and Nikki were getting shrimps from Ken in Canada he too made having an import license a requirement. Although, both were resalers so in not sure. That would be awesome if it were true. Maybe as more and more folks actually discover how to get an import license and start sharing it'll be easier. Currently, it's a guarded secret as it's some folks only source of income. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then I'm sure another new hottest would be available. And round and round we go. [emoji44] Soothing Shrimp and countryboy12484 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Crown Aquatic Trade Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Hey Soothing Shrimps, Sorry you have to see that mess of a website, but that is our website, we are in the process of changing the name and updating the content but been really busy so haven't had time. We can get nearly any type of pintos but the price is too high, I mean we can even obtain the new Galaxy pinto but that is if people are willing to pay top dollars.

Soothing Shrimp Posted November 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 Have a pic/price of the galaxy pinto? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sbarbee54 Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 I think the problem with most pintos is they don't breed true, that is one reason I have mostly stayed away from them. Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
