Description

YELLOW POSO, YELLOW-SPOTTED, GOLD-SPOTTED, AND YELLOW RABBIT SNAILS, YELLOW SHRIMP! FREE SHIPPING, NO RESERVE, HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Hello Aquabidders:

We really love the color yellow. I guess I'm not totally sure why, except that maybe it's because we have so much awesome yellow stuff living in our tanks. So we've decided to pull some of our nicest yellow stuff together for you and offer it in a single package that would work in a tank as small as a 10 gallon. By the way, don't you think it's about time to do something with that empty tank you've got sitting in the back of your garage? Or are you going to wait around for your kid to smash into it with the lawnmower?

As for all of our current auctions with music, we CHALLENGE you to identify the artist, song, and album title. If you are the high bidder and correctly identify the music, we will throw a nice bonus gift into your box. (If it doesn't play for you in Firefox on a PC, use Internet Explorer; on a Mac, use Safari or Google Chrome.) Now how's that for an AWESOME deal on top of this already awesome deal?

We're big fans of Acoustic Blues, Bluegrass, Folk, Americana, Roots Rock, and Singer-songwriter music. No top 40 stuff here! So, even if you don't care to bid on our stuff, check us out every week for some awesome music you probably haven't heard before. Enjoy!

In this Auction:

Awesome Yellow Shrimp

Yellow Poso Rabbit Snail

Yellow-Spotted Rabbit Snail

Yellow Rabbit Snail

Gold-Spotted Rabbit Snail

Up for bidding are the following Canary-Yellow, high quality pieces of livestock:

• 15 AWESOME juvie Yellow Shrimp
• 3-4 Yellow Poso Rabbit Snails (1/4 to 1/2 inch juvies)
• 3-4 Yellow-Spotted Rabbit Snails (1/4 to 1/2 inch juvies)
• 3-4 Yellow Rabbit Snails (1/4 to 1/2 inch juvies)
• 3-4 Gold-Spotted Rabbit Snails (1/4 to 1/2 inch juvies)

The first yellow thing we're going to throw into this box is 15 awesome Yellow Shrimp. This is the yellow variant of Neocaridina heteropoda (Red Cherry Shrimp). Take a look at our picture to see how yellow these guys are. Imagine bananas with swimmerets. Besides being beautiful, these shrimp are hardy, active, and very prolific.

The next thing we're going to put in this box is a collection of Rabbit snails with yellow coloration. It's not hard to find rabbit snails with nice yellows, since this is the most common bright color that occurs in these snails. You're going to get 3-4 beautiful 1/4 to 1/2 inch juvenile Yellow Poso, Yellow-Spotted, Gold-Spotted, and Yellow Rabbit snails for a total of at least 12 snails. These guys look fabulous on a dark black substrate!

For those of you that are not familiar with rabbit snails, they come from the warm-water, high pH great lakes of Sulawesi, are stunningly beautiful, and extremely active snails. When we first got them they immediately became THE first thing we pointed out in our tanks to visitors. They are livebearers and only produce 1 baby per month, so they won't overpopulate your tank. (Do the math - it would take almost a year for one female to produce as many snails as you will win in this auction!) They will eat plants like Amazon Swords, Anubias, etc., but they go VERY well with floating plants, mosses, and Marimo balls. (Check out the picture at the bottom of the page of our tank with Rabbit Snails and Shrimp to see how green a 'rabbit-snail-tank' can be with moss and floaters!)

For these snails to be happy, you need to turn your heater up to about 81-82 F. You'll want to add crushed coral/aragonite (1 lb per gallon) to bring your pH up to about 7.8. If you want to go with black sand for substrate (instead of Aragonite or crushed coral) to set off the yellows in the shrimps and the snails, you can raise your pH by putting a bag of crushed coral in a HOB (hang on back) filter. Just put a sponge pre-filter over the intake to prevent the baby shrimp from getting sucked in. We use HOBs all the time for this and it works great!

Feed this stuff raw carrots (these snails love carrots and carrots won't pollute your water when they sit in your tank for a few days!), frozen Brine Shrimp, Ken's Veggie Sticks with Calcium, and Oak/Indian Almond leaves. Under these conditions your rabbit snails will grow into 3-4-inch-long MONSTERS and the shrimp will breed like crazy.

We're going to stuff all of this into a box and ship it to you for FREE with a NO RISK LIVE ARRIVAL GUARANTEE. (No guarantee for any extras included in the box.) We ship via Priority Mail in a Styrofoam-lined box with Kordon breather bags. Heat packs are free. By a NO RISK GUARANTEE, we mean that if your shrimp or snails are DOA, we will re-ship at NO ADDITIONAL COST TO YOU, whether its our fault or the fault of the USPS. How many other Aquabid sellers offer that kind of a guarantee? In the unlikely event of DOAs, email us a digital picture of the dead shrimp, in the unopened INNER bag within 2 hrs of the first delivery attempt. For snails, since it is difficult to identify DOAs within the bag, you need to mail us the empty shell within 48 hrs of arrival. We will refund the cost of 1st class postage in addition to re-shipping your snails. We ship to the continental USA only.

Payment is via Paypal only. Send payment within 24 hrs of close of auction to Lex.inverts@gmail.com. Contact us with questions at Lex.inverts@gmail.com. Check out our feedback to see how we do business!

Note: since the adults are bigger and much easier to photograph, most of our pictures are of adults. Go to the below link for a gallery of pictures of juvie rabbit snails like the ones you will get in this auction!

Good luck and happy bidding!
