Description

Hi, this auction is for 6 tank-raised L183!!!

This is the most awesome of the Ancistrus! I have found that these do well in my tap water (pH 7.6, medium hardness) but if you want to breed them, they like blackwater. To breed them, I do water changes on them every two weeks using R/O water that has been reconstituted with "Kent R/O Right" to about 80ppm TDS. I also have peat in my R/O reservoir so the pH is about 5.5 or 6.0 in the reservoir. The actual fish tanks holding these guys have peat in them also and they drop to a pH of about 4.5 over time and rise to 5.0 or 5.5 after a water change. They might breed in tap water. I'm holding some fry back to find out.

These pics are from the previous batch of fry, but this batch looks the same (They are about 1" long):

These are awesome! They were born and raised in my own home. They are about 1" long, not sexable at all. The parents get to 3", maybe 4". So a very small, really beautiful Ancistrus.

With this great weather we're having I'm going to offer free shipping for a limited time!! This includes box, heat and phase packs, and a live arrival guarantee. More detailed shipping info and terms are pasted from my website below.

 

I only have these six, no more.

 

Check out my website for many more fish and poison dart frogs that can be added to your order: Brian's Tropicals.

 

From my website:

ABOUT:

Hi, I have a fairly large collection of tropical fish and frogs that make lots of babies that need good homes. I do not buy animals just to sell them again. Instead, I only sell the fish and frogs born in my own home. I am a microbiology professor at the local university and I am very busy with work and family. So, I will try to reply to your emails as soon as possible but only in the evenings. My background is genetics and my research is on microbes so I'm confident that everything I sell is disease free and genetically healthy! 

TERMS: 
All animals have a 5 day live arrival guarantee that includes shipping. If the animals arrive dead or die after they have been in your house for a few days, I will either refund all of your money, including the shipping cost, or ship you replacements (my choice). The live arrival guarantee is void if the recipient is not present to accept the shipment. I reserve the right to delay shipment until the weather is appropriate. There are no more guarantees on the replacement animals. 

SHIPPING: 
Shipping is flat rate and there is always a live arrival guarantee that includes shipping. It doesn't matter how much you pack in the box, the price is the same. I do not ship outside the continental U.S.

$44 for Fedex Overnight (as many Fish, Shrimp and Frogs as you want). Saturday arrival is an extra $15 because of extra Fedex fees. I ship whenever the high temperatures are between 20°F and 90°F on both ends, which is pretty much all year. If you won't be home on the delivery day, or if the temperatures are questionable, please send me the address of your local Fedex facility so the box can be held for pickup. You can get the address at fedex.com. Oh, and please let me know your phone number, Fedex requires it for live animals. I have been approved by Fedex to ship live animals and I label the box with "Live Animals, Please Keep At Room Temperature". I put your phone number and my phone number on the box as well. This is the best price for Fedex Overnight you'll find anywhere. There are no hidden fees, this includes the box, styro, heat packs, etc...

PAYMENT:
The shopping cart on this site lets you use credit cards or paypal. If you have any questions or it isn't working right, please email me. If you need to send me money for something that does not have a shopping cart button, use the "Miscellaneous Item" button. Just put the number of dollars in the quantity box. The shopping cart will then allow you to pay with paypal or various credit cards. Alternatively, you can use paypal to send money to my email address:
