Four (4 ) young Bluenose Shiners, Pteronotropis welaka
over half inch long, F2, hatched 6/22/2010
Seller: Philip Kukulski

OPTION
The buyer can add up to 6 additional fish
at $10 per fish (with no additional shipping or handling.)

Bluenose Shiners are rarely seen because they like streams
up near the swampy headwaters.

Young fish -
ship better
acclimate better
live longer

CARE
These fish are happy being fed flake food
in normal freshwater
(average: 150 ppm hardness, pH 6.8, 72F; tolerant of a much wider range
of water conditions than most tropical fish.)
My friend raises Bluenose Shiners from 1 inch to fully mature with fins and color in 3 months. Another friend has kept Bluenose Shiners alive for 4 years. I had 4 males and 3 females breed their second year. Information on breeding Bluenose Shiners is available at NANFA.org, and updated information will be in the next NANFA American Currents magazine.
