Redfin Pickerel are more colorful than grass pickerel & do not reach mammoth sizes like chain pickerel. During feeding they strike like lightning, faster than the human eye & mind can comprehend. This is the Okefenokee strain, the origin of the species, once adult, it breeds true with deep red fins on males and has not hybridized with chain pickerel as it has in most of it's range. The actual fish in this auction is 2-3", they seem to travel better at this size and they acclimate better. Eating aggressively on guppies and can be trained on frozen foods such as grass shrimp or other meaty foods, beef heart etc..

This is an advanced aquarist species and there are things you will need to know: Keep a lid, they jump out. (well planted tank with plenty of cover, logs, works best.) They require food at least 3x a week. For best growth feed once daily.

For your convenience this pickerel has been pre-quarantined in my lab and treated with metro and prazi to prevent parasite, protozoan & bacterial transmission to your aquatic system. F1's are here!

Have your set-up ready for when the fish arrives, don't wait for the last minute. This pickerel will have food withheld to prevent defecation during transit. The fish will be shipped in pure oxygen. I suggest you call your local post office and tell them to "hold" all your packages on the expected delivery date if you are not going to be home during the delivery attempt. This will prevent the fish from bouncing around in a mail truck all day for nothing.

Allow the pickerel at least 4 hours to acclimate to the new tank before attempt feeding, unless multiple specimens are housed. If multiple specimens are housed keep them well fed to prevent cannibalism or aggression among fish of contrasting sizes. Water PH slightly acid, soft or neutral. This fish does not like strong current. No salinity. No hard water. If unsure, uncontaminated collected rainwater works well. This fish can survive water temps down to 33� but ideally 65�-74� for healthiest growth.

You now have the tools of knowledge to properly care for this magnificent ambush predator. Thanks for looking. Email me with any questions. $15 shipping. I usually ship Saturday for Monday arrival, if this is not feasable let me know. My paypal address is not the same as my email address, ask.

This fish makes an awesome cull eater for your fishroom.
