Up for auction are 12 undescribed prawn. This prawn grows to 2-3 inches. The juvenile prawns look similar to a grass shrimp however, upon closer inspection, the back of the prawn has stripes like a tiger shrimp and the tail has red dots on each fin & the antennae & claws are red, white & blue when mature. These features become much more pronounced when adults. Color is dependent on size, & sex of the prawn, as well as time of year. They are a beautiful clean-up crew, chowing hungrily on leftover flake and anything edible that sinks to the bottom. This prawn seems to get along well in a community tank and has never attacked a live fish. This prawn produces larval fry, and lots of them, regardless of salinity. Have a green water culture ready as i may send a berried female. $15.00 shipping. Your prompt payment is appreciated. Thanks!

Once you are up to your eyeballs in these critters, use the extras as feeders for Oscars, and other predatory fish! My Calvus love them. They are an important feeding tool for stressed or picky eaters. Feeder shrimp are 90% less likely to transmit pathogens than feeder fish.

This auction includes 12 prawn, some may be berried. For best results have green water ready to feed the fry. The prawns show best color in the 2-3" size range during late summer. The best way to start a colony for breeding purpose is to put a tub outside under a tree in summer and feed them a tiny bit of flake or pellets each afternoon. That way the fry will have unrestricted access to green water. Water parameters are flexible, this is a hardy species. You can add a little aquarium salt to the tub (10ppt) to make them more comfortable, but they will reproduce like weeds no matter what.

COLD HARDY! They can survive under a sheet of ice, just like krill.

See my DOA policy on my "Just Me" page. After the auction ask for my paypal address or ask for an invoice if you are unfamiliar with the payment process. At this time i will need to know if there are any other fish you would like to add to your order, they will be gladly added to your invoice at opening bid price or current bid price, whichever is greater. The addition of fish to your order may or may not result in an increase in shipping costs, depending on the type of fish added to the order, feel free to ask if adding fish to your order will increase your shipping costs or not.

Unless otherwise posted, fish are sold as varied size & of varied gender & no promised size or gender. Once the minimum promised amount of fish arrive alive, my obligation will have been met and i will consider the sale a success. In the extremely unlikely event the amount of DoA's exceed the amount of freebies, the cost of the DOA fish may be prorated and refunded, especially if the buyer declines to pay for a reship, just email me a mandatory photo of the DOA's for my records. I do not guarantee or promise the size of fish, gender of fish, or time frame delivery of fish, unless specifically otherwise posted. Although I usually prefer to process orders quickly, I reserve the right to ship fish up to 7 days after payment has been made and up to 14 days during weeks in the vicinity of a major holiday, inclement weather, natural disaster, or acts of terrorism.

24hrs prior to shipment, fish are withheld food to reduce in-transit ammonia levels. Fish are shipped via USPS Priority mail with medical grade oxygen, clean water and cushioned with impact absorbing insulation. Spiny and/or large fish will have the bag wrapped in duct tape as to prevent puncture and subsequent leakage. I usually ship on a Saturday for a Monday arrival to minimize transit time & shipping stress to the fish. It is a common misconception that mail does not travel on Sunday, when in actuality it travels faster than a weekday because new packages are not being accepted. If I decide to ship your fish during a weekday, you will receive 48hrs advance notice via USPS's email tracking alert system, so please be ready to make yourself available to receive the fish. Requests to have your fish arrive on a Saturday will always be denied due to it's proximity to Sunday. Requests to have your fish arrive on a certain day will be taken into mild consideration, but never guaranteed.

Once your fish are shipped you will receive email tracking alerts, these alerts are usually the only form of post-payment communication you will receive from me, unless you contact me for verification of payment or verification of shipping status. By default, these USPS tracking alerts are usually sent to your email address listed with paypal or aquabid, not a seconday email account. You are most likely to begin to receive email tracking alerts on Saturday afternoon or Sunday. Please make sure your home address listed with paypal is correct & complete (i.e street, drive, Ave). Also please make sure your home address with paypal matches the home address listed with Aquabid, if it does not match your shipment could be delayed by as much as a week or even misdirected. If the package is misdirected or delayed due to the customer providing an incorrect or conflicting delivery address, I will accept zero financial responsibility and you will have to hunt down your own package. In other words, I will turn my back on you for not having all your ducks in a row.

BY DEFAULT I ALWAYS SHIP TO THE ADDRESS LISTED WITH PAYPAL, unless a specific request has been acknowledged by me, via email, to ship to a location other than the address listed with paypal. If you have 2 different email addresses, monitor both until your fish arrive. Shipping costs are never refunded under any circumstances. Items lost in transit, i.e dormant tracking number, the fish will be replaced free of charge but the buyer must pay to re-ship the item.

If for some reason you have trouble contacting me, check your spam folder, check your other email addresses, or contact me thru the aquabid messaging system. For immeadiate assistance, or for help placing a large order, my phone number is listed on my "about me" page. Do not order fish before going on vacation. I reserve the right to cancel the sale and issue a refund to customers whom I consider to have difficulty conducting business civally and/or are Verbally abusive via email, i am a fish person, not a people person, but i am doing my best=) I do not ship fish during or in the vicinity of weeks that contain a holiday. I do not ship fish during or in the vicinity of weeks expected to have a heavy mailstream. I ship fish according to the fishes best interest and there may be times that patience on your part may be required in order for the fish to have a 100% successful voyage. Thanks for looking at my auctions and feel free to contact me with any questions!
