Description

RILI SHRIMP, POSO ORANGE, AND YELLOW-SPOTTED RABBIT SNAILS! FREE SHIPPING, NO RESERVE!

This is an awesome package for a hobbyist in a warmer climate in the summer. Anybody out there in Miami or Phoenix having a hard time keeping your tanks below 80F this summer? Well then, have I got a package of stuff for you!

In this Auction:

Rili Shrimp

Rili Shrimp

Rili Shrimp

Poso Orange Rabbit Snail

Yellow-Spotted Rabbit Snail

Juvie Rabbit Snails

Up for bidding are the following awesome and HARDY pieces of livestock:

• 8 juvie RILI Shrimps (males and females)
• 5 juvie Poso Orange Rabbit Snails (1/4 to 1/2 inch)
• 5 juvie Yellow-Spotted Rabbit Snails (1/4 to 1/2 inch)

This package includes our newest variety of shrimp, Rili shrimp, and they are very unique. They are Painted Fire Red shrimp that have been selectively bred to display two-part coloration, somewhat similar to a Crystal Red Shrimp. The saddles and berries on these shrimps are often bright green, so when mature they can display bright red, green, and a translucent to white body color. They are really gorgeous shrimps! My pictures are of one of my breeders. This auction is for 8 juvies that are still coloring up. They are fast-growing shrimps, so they should be mature and have near mature coloration within 1 month or so after you receive them. YOU WILL GET MALES AND FEMALES. Rilis were brand new out of Taiwan last year, and they've just made it to the U.S.A. within the last 4-5 months. They first went for nearly $1,000 per pair in Taiwan! If you look at my feedback, you'll see that I paid over 80 bucks for a pair. But I'm offering them in this auction with NO RESERVE... And, yes, they are hardy and easy to keep.

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 one 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 80-82 F. It's a good idea to add crushed coral/aragonite (1 lb per gallon) to bring your pH up to about 7.6-7.8. Feed this stuff raw carrots (they love carrots and they won't pollute your water!), Ken's Veggie Sticks with Calcium, Frozen Brine Shrimp, and Indian Almond leaves. Under these conditions your rabbit snails will grow into 3-4-inch-long MONSTERS and the shrimp will breed like crazy (I've been breeding my Rilis at 82F and they are thriving).

We're going to stuff all of this into a box and ship it to you for FREE with a 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 no extra charge. We offer a NO RISK LIVE ARRIVAL GUARANTEE. By no risk, we mean that if your animals arrive DOA, whether it's our fault or the fault of the USPS, we will re-ship them at NO ADDITIONAL COST TO YOU. How many sellers on Aquabid offer that kind of guarantee? Just email us a digital picture of the dead fish in the unopened bag within 2 hrs of the first delivery attempt. We ship to the continental USA only.

Payment is via Paypal only. Send payment within 24 hrs of close of auction to lexinverts1@gmail.com, please. Contact us with questions at lexinverts1@gmail.com.

Pictured below is the Mixed Shrimp and Rabbit Snails setup in our kitchen following the theme of this auction. Go to our photo website for more pictures of these snails and shrimp.

Note: since the adults are bigger and much easier to photograph, most of our pictures are of adults. The last picture is of the 1/4-1/2 inch juvie rabbit snails like the ones you will get in this auction!

Good luck and happy bidding!
