Soothing Shrimp Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Low Grade Carbons- 4.95 ea. (The top shrimp in the photo is a low grade.) While selectively breeding to improve my carbon strain, some low carbons are produced along the way. These are often blue with flecks of darker blue on them. Very pretty, but don't fit into my breeding program. Least Killifish (Heterandria formosa) $1.95 ea. North America's smallest fish, and one of the smallest fish in the world! These were bred from wild caught and now I'm on the 3rd to 4th generation of tank bred. No more need to take from the wild for these Fish, and used to tank conditions! Males get to be around 3/4", and females around 1". Live bearers and very hardy! Selling these around 1/2" or so. Shipping is a flat $10 and covers priority insulated box, and breather bags. If you need a heat pack, please let me know. I usually ship on Saturdays for best chance of live arrival. mosspearl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soothing Shrimp Posted November 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 That's the kind I use, however I found the best prices on Ebay at various times throughout the year. I use only 72hr because...well...I go overboard with insulation and protecting my aquatics. I'm a bit paranoid about their arrival. heh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mosspearl Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Good to know. The heat pack you sent last time was still nice and warm for at least another day or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted November 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 LOL Some say that is a waste. I say it's security. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenBliss Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 Will you have those low grade Carbon and Least Killifish available again in a couple of months? I'm thinking my next shrimp will be blue and I love those little fish since seeing them on MABJ journal on TPT, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted November 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 Yepper. I'll have them, GreenBliss. They breed pretty well for me and I have to admit that I really like them too. The black lines are pretty cool against the silver or golden backgrounds. They do great in small tanks as well as big tanks, which is a huge plus in my book anytime! I'm pretty sure I'll still have the lower grade carbons for sale as well. Some could even look close to a Nadal Blue RIli with some work. (blue pigment on head/tail with blue tissue midsection) I just have too many other projects to pursue that one, so the pigment is random unless someone breeds for it.

MABJ Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Will you have those low grade Carbon and Least Killifish available again in a couple of months? I'm thinking my next shrimp will be blue and I love those little fish since seeing them on MABJ journal on TPT, Glad you liked them . They would have been excellent in that tank alone, I think. But I overcrowded the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louie Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Having purchased them from you last December , your pics do not do them justice. The blue is striking and very hardy and active . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted March 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Thanks. Yeah, I take bad pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triton Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Just an FYI on those heat packs Kensfish has them for around $1.70 each, if you are shipping a lot that extra savings could add up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted March 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 I like ken's fish, but shipping Ebay is usually free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
