Description

I pick out the best-looking individuals I can find. Spots, bars, stripes, and iridescence are taken into account. I collect the fish from New Orleans watersheds, either Bayou Saint John, City Park, or Audubon Park, depending on the week. I include a balanced male to female ratio. The least killifish (Heterandia formosa) are the world's smallest freshwater livebearing fish. They can store sperm and females are often incubating young. It's likely that one or more of the females that I send you will be gravid (carrying developing embryos). She won't be conspicuously gravid because I've found that while near-to-term females can make it through the mail, they have a higher death rate than females who are further from giving birth. Live arrival is not guaranteed because I guarantee/commit to the following practices: I ship Monday or Tuesday following the order so that the fish arrive within 2 or 3 days after drop-off at the post office. Post-collection, I tank the fish for 2-3 days to make sure that they're healthy and energetic. These fish are inspected for fungus, torn fins, and other maladies. I condition the water, bag with breathable industrial fish bags, topping off the air supply with a spurt of compressed oxygen. The water in the bag will be part rain or standing water and part water that they have been living in at the time of bagging + stress coat. This reduces shock and conserves some beneficial flora. I include a few pieces of live aquatic plant in the bags for oxygen cycling and nibbling. The fish will be in air-conditioned space when bagged, boxed, and transported directed to the post office which is also air-conditioned. I commit to bagging the fish the day that I bring them to the post office. If you have any questions or special requests please feel free to message and if you win the auction and want to tell me something in a note, please do. If you win the auction, there is a flat shipping cost of $10. 6 lb box includes cold pack and insulation
