You are bidding on 2 pair (F-1) of a new species of rainbowfish. Your fish are just a bit over 1.5 inches. When we first collected them in 2005 we thought they might be a pretty blue form of Melanotaenia affinis but they didn�t quite look right. DNA analysis confirmed that they indeed were different than affinis and a new species. We went back in 2010 and collected some more specifically so we could have some museum specimens. This rainbowfish, when full grown is over four inches. The warm spring water (~ 74) that we caught these out of was quite hard, over 350 ppm general hardness. If you look at the picture of the spring below you will see why we call it the �Blue Hole�. These rainbowfish adapted quite well to my 125 ppm water but to keep them in top form, if you have soft water, make sure you change it frequently. If you�re tired of store bought crossed and washed out junk rainbowfish I have a better suggestion! Buy your rainbowfish from me. If you�re tired of seeing auctions that are just foisting the same Far East wholesaler, or worse, FLORIDA crap as their own, buy your rainbowfish from me. You get what you pay for� I raise and breed more species and location (river) variants of rainbowfish than anyone else in the United States. My rainbowfish are all raised by me and not imported from some off shore farm. My aquariums are carefully marked to ensure that similar species are not mixed up or crossed. So many rainbowfish look very similar when they are small so attention to detail is vital. You will see in my listings rainbowfish that have never been offered EVER in the United States. You�ll get prompt and courteous service and you�ll get some great fish that you�ll enjoy for years to come. When the auction ends on Saturday evening I would like to have an email by Sunday morning so I know whether a PayPal payment is coming shortly or whether we are waiting for a MO. Payment must be made within 5 days after the auction ends. If I am shipping on Monday morning your prizes need to have a good water change and go without food for 24 hours so that they can be shipped to you in optimal shape. Without the 24 hour fast rainbowfish can easily get ammonia burn or worse. Shipping at this time of the year is by express mail only for $40 flat rate, guaranteed to arrive alive. I ship in a 1-1.5 inch thick styro box. Heat pak will be included. Auctions can be combined to save a bit on shipping. Rainbowfish really need to have a lot of oxygen to survive. I ship all of my fish in breather bags. I won�t ship if it looks like bad weather and package delays. I like my fish and I want to land with you happy and healthy! Guarantee with immediate (within 2 hours of USPS delivery) digital picture of dead fish - in the bag provides credit for the replacement of DOA fish. Guarantee does not include the cost of shipping. Guarantee does not extend to replacement fish. Happy Bidding!
