Description

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

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. And by the way, don't you think it's about time to do something with that empty tank in the back of your garage? Or are you going to wait around for your kid to smash into it with his bike?

In this Auction:

Awesome Yellow Shrimp

Orange Poso Rabbit Snail

Yellow Poso Rabbit Snail

Yellow-Spotted Rabbit Snail

Gold-Spotted Rabbit Snail

juvie Rabbit Snails

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

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

The first yellow thing we're going to throw into this box is 8 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 5 beautiful 1/4 to 1/2 inch juvenile Yellow Poso, Yellow-Spotted, Gold-Spotted, and Orange Poso Rabbit snails for a total of at least 20 snails. These guys look fabulous on a dark black substrate! Now...I know that the Orange Posos are more orange than yellow, and this is supposed to be the yellow auction, BUT WHY THE HECK WOULDN'T YOU WANT THESE GORGEOUS SNAILS?

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 yellows 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!
