Description

Hello Folks!
Happy Friday!
This auction is for a some surface feeders and some bottom feeders and will work out real nice for you if you want to try to breed some Half Beaks because they feed off the surface but at the same time with all these Corydoras and Shrimp in your tank you will be able to feed these Half beaks aggressively without worrying about food reaching the bottom and fouling your water.
Win this auction and I will send you a NICE group of 7 Corydoras trilineatus.
There are a few different sub species/races of these Corys and I have the type collected from Peru. In fact the photo's you can see below ARE the actual fish I WILL be shipping. Also these are OFTEN confused with Corydoras julii. These are NOT julii. To learn more about what I am yapping about click this link- Trilineatus. These are NICE, HEALTHY. ACTIVE schooling Cory's and you WILL like this group of 7 catfish!
I am also going to send you 6 Dermogynus pusillus also sometimes called Wrestling Half beaks.
You WILL GET both sexes!
I have seen these sold under a bunch of different names over the years including "Albino" half beaks but they are NOT Albinos and there is no logical reason I can think of to call them Albino's either. These are totally COOL little half beaks that will live right near the surface of your tank, eat food (they LOVE Golden pearls) off the surface, AND they are livebearers which REALLY makes them interesting!
Lastly I will send you about 15 NICE Sakura Shrimp INCLUDING berried Females!
Have you noticed I have been selling a lot of these shrimp recently? That's because I have a lot of them and I will briefly tell you why. I got this strain back about 3 years ago when they were selling for 80 bucks per 6 of them. I didn't pay that much cuz I got them in a trade with a hobbyist named "Astrogirl" BUT I was talking to a couple shrimp breeders after I got them and they told me it was easy to screw this strain up IF I kept picking out the Reddest ones for my customers because I would be continually sending the best colored shrimp out and my strain would quickly turn to crap on me if I did that. I actually sorta new that just from my experiences breeding domesticated strains of fish the last 40 years but I always set up fish to BREED a new generation and I quickly realized I wasn't doing that with these shrimp and the advice I was given was GOOD ADVICE so instead of selling my reddest shrimp I kept setting them up in new tanks to start new even redder lines! That's why I ended up HAVING so MANY! I know all this must seem pretty obvious to most of the breeders reading this auction right now but for some reason (like I am a moron) I just didn't treat these shrimp like I do my domesticated strains of fish so I just thought it might be a good idea to remind everyone that a domesticated strain of shrimp outta be line bred just like you would a Guppy etc.
What's it all mean other than I talk too much?
It means if you buy a strain of shrimp like these if you simply let them breed a few Months and then take your 5 or 6 REDDEST shrimp and use THOSE to start your next line you WILL end up with a much nicer stain of shrimp quickly and if you DON'T continually start new lines and you sell/give away all your reddest shrimp you will quickly own the same crappy cherry shrimp strain you can find in most pet stores these days.
Boy, I can sure TALK about stuff when I write these auctions can't I? Look at the bright side, you can just X out of these auctions when you get sick of me yapping about the hobby. Think of how folks feel when they actually come to my fish room to buy this stuff in person?
Back to this auction-
To SUM UP-
You are bidding on 7 NICE Corydoras trilineatus, 6 NICE Wrestling Half beaks (both sexes) and finally 15 NICE quality bright RED Sakura shrimp.
I was going to talk a little about how to raise those half beak fry but forget it now, you can just Google those for more information on them if you want. Just Google- "Dermogynus pusillus" so you are sure to get the right info on these type of Half beaks.
I will also include some HIGH QUALITY foods for everything too! Shipping is FREE and I Guarantee live arrival of ALL NICE STUFF!

















































Folks, I don't mess around. I sell nice stuff. I start all these auctions at a dollar and I offer free shipping and an unconditional guarantee. Trust ol' Lotsoffish.

I ship 3 days a week- Monday, Tuesday, AND Wednesday, I also FEARLESSLY ship into ALL temperatures. I'll get your fish to you alive folks. It's my specialty! I can usually ship the next available shipping day after you cough up the loot, and as always, I don't mess around.
