6 unsexed 1.75" to 2"+ fish - 10 months old+ - Parent fish are unrelated and a mature pair (Male is 6"+). I originally purchased them as my algae team for my planted aquariums.

- Plecos are 10+ months old and born November/December last year. Some fish are showing a few bristles and I will include 1-2 in every order if I see them.
- Fish size is 1.75" minimum and can be 2" or bigger.

Bristlenose plecos are not very picky eaters but I provide them with quality food. The main foods listed are my go-to food for my plecos but other food can be introduced by gradually feeding it to them. Other listed foods are given as a snack or treat (twice or once a week). This ensures the fish have a varied diet. - Repashy Soilent Green (Main food)
- Zucchini (Main food) - washed with hot water and peeled
- Fluval Pleco Bug Bites (Main food)
- Green Beans (Main food)
- Hikari Algae Wafers

- Frozen Brine Shrimp

- TDS: 160 to 240 TDS (My water source has switched for fall-winter)

- I ship using USPS Priority Mail - No Live Arrival Guarantee. NO refunds provided for this shipping option. I have good experience shipping fish with this method as long as buyer is familiar how quickly priority mail gets to their location
- I ship using USPS Express (preferred) - Live Arrival Guarantee - refunds are provided for this fish as long as the buyer sends a picture of the dead fish in the sealed bag within 2 hours of delivery. Shipping cost is non-refundable. Buyer can also get replacement fish if they are willing to pay for shipping. Shipping delays from this method are covered by USPS and I will replace dead fish from express shipping delays if I have the fish available. Buyer may file claim from USPS for the delayed shipment if the fish survive.
- Fish are put on fasting 24 hours before being shipped. Reduced fish poop in the bag an ensures better survival during shipping.
- I ship Mondays and Tuesdays only! Last orders are accepted at Saturday for Monday shipping and Sunday for Tuesday shipping. You can order a few days ahead.
- Fish are individually double-bagged using 4 mil polybags (total 8 mil for 2 bags) and I use pure oxygen for each bag. I use an impulse sealer to seal my bag instead of rubber bands and all corners are sealed to prevent fish deaths from bag corners.
- Fish are shipped in styrofoam insulated box. I use a hot wire cutter to make my styro liners to ensure better seal at the edges.
- Heatpacks are available and will be provided at no extra cost. I need to be notified
- Buyer must provide zip code to get shipping cost after auction closes.
