Description

High Temperatures May Delay Shipping Time

You are bidding on a group of 8 unsexed, young, tank raised Chilatherina campsi "Wahgi River", sized at 1" or larger in total length. My photo shows some of the adult fish so you can see what they will grow out to look like. Their color will vary due to camera flash angle, background, time of day, diet, mood etc. As any rainbowfish keeper knows, this can drive a person crazy trying to describe exact color and markings of your fish! The information I received on these fish (my breeders) when I go them many years ago reads; "The campsi were collected by an a now elderly ex-aircraft mechanic working in PNG by the name of Barry Crockford who lives in Melbourne. Barry says that the specimens I have came from the Wahgi River near Mt Hagan at about 3000M elevation. Barry brought these into Australia around 1981-82 and he strongly disputes the existence of any other colour variety other than the red-fin variety. There are people talking about a blue form - which most likely was ramuensis. They like 21-22oC temperature and some water circulation."

I haven�t offered nay young in a couple years so here is your chance to get hold of a seldom seen, rare, oddball rainbowfish. Winner of the auction will have a chance to purchase a few extras at the winning bid price per fish, but numbers are limited.

Remember these are healthy, tank raised fish, being naturally spawned and raised in aquariums in our own hatchery, NOT stressed out, emaciated imported fish (which are often misidentified) that just arrived in the USA and are ready to die! These are NOT pond raised or farm raised using artificial methods either, as some others call �tank raised�!! We like to say... Proudly Pennsylvania Produced�,

Only method of shipping offered is USPS (United States Postal Service) Express Shipping. For a box weighing just under 5lbs. the cost can range from $45 to the East Coast to the Midwest and up to $65 to the Rockies and West. Serious bidders, BEFORE YOU BID, email me your shipping zip code for shipping cost and delivery times, some USPS Express shipment may also be a 2-day delivery.

Live delivery will be guaranteed, as long as someone is present to receive & sign for shipment on the first delivery attempt. (Please make sure fish are unpacked & tended to upon arrival, as any DOA must be report to me within an hour of package acceptance. Photos of DOA in original, unopened bag required.). If using the �hold for pick up� option or a PO Box, packages must be picked up within 2 hours once available at your post office.

Live delivery is guaranteed to you, but I DO NOT GUARANTEE THE DELIVERY TIME! This means I guarantee you get live, healthy fish, if they arrive an hour late or day late, but alive and in good condition, you do not get any money back for the late delivery. In the rare event of DOA fish, the fish will either be replaced at no charge, or a refund will be sent, BUT shipping cost is not refundable in any way.

I do not use USPS Priority Mail (and please don't ask me to, saying you will take the risk!) because they are so unpredictable and unreliable. I have already had packages in the past take up to two weeks to get delivered; I will not to take a gamble with living things!!! Let us avoid any problems, headaches, arguments and hard feelings just to try and save a few dollars!!

Again, email me at coryjeb@comcast.net BEFORE YOU BID if you have ANY questions about the shipping or ANY other possible questions. Payment must be sent within 5 days of auction end, PLEASE! PayPal or United States Postal Service Money Orders accepted only. There will be a 3% additional cost added to the final total once shipping is calculated in, this is to help cover some of the banking, service and handling fees that I get hit with!
