Here is the story behind these great little fish. A fellow hobbyist here in the USA, Cheng Moua, contacted me in early 2008 just before I was going on a trip to Germany. He asked if I could bring him back some assorted rainbowfish eggs. After hearing what great fish species he was getting, I agreed to transport them back for him, so he arranged a shipment of several different species to be delivered to the place where I was staying before I was to return home. Unfortunately, the shipment, which contained fish, did not arrive until the day after I left! My friend in Germany agreed to hold the fish for me in hopes that our paths would cross in the near future and I could get them from him. Well we did not run into each other until the ACA convention in Cincinnati in July of 2009 and only three fish were still alive, two males and one female of these guys! I got them home, contacted Cheng to let him know the good news that they finally arrived in the USA and that is how they made their way here to the States! There is a lot more to the story on getting them here, but we�ll keep it short! Cheng originally arranged the shipment from a breeder in Belgium, who got his breeding stock from French hobbyist, Ars�ne Schneider. I bred the three surviving fish, with Cheng�s approval, and huge thanks go out for all his efforts in getting this fish into the country. >>>>>>>>> So what you are bidding on now is 12 young, unsexed fish, sized around 1/2" in total length, these only grow to just over an inch when full grown. The photo shows two random adult males from my group of breeders. Some of them are looking like males, I'll do my best to try and mix the lot so you get both males and females, with 12 fish chances are good for a mixed sex ratio. Get together with a friend and split the lot, always a good idea to not keep all your eggs in one basket! I spawned and raised them here in my hatchery and as far as I know, I'm the first person to have offered them on AquaBid and I have never seen it available from anyone in the USA before!!!! Only methods of shipping offered will be via USPS Express Shipping OR UPS ground if ground delivery is no more than a 2 day delivery time from Pittsburgh PA. Email me your zip code for a shipping quote and/or delivery times. Live delivery will be guaranteed, as long as someone is present to receive & sign for shipment on the first delivery attempt. Live delivery is guaranteed to you, but I DO NOT GUARANTEE THE DELIVERY TIME!
