Gulf Coast Pygmy Sunfish collected from downstream of Wakulla Spring. Young adults, ready to breed, the males will color-up nicely, especially during breeding season. Named in honor of Dr. Gilbert of the FMNH in 2009. Live Foods only! Feed as a micro-predator just like Scarlet Badis.

This is an expert level aquarist fish best kept as a species tank or housed with small fishes of similar size and fed tiny live foods. Access to Daphnia or mosquito larvae a huge plus.

This is a very small fish perfect for planted nano tanks! This fish has very low oxygen requirements & prefers minimal water circulation/agitation as possible, to accomplish this raise the airstone to the top of the water column or use the smallest sponge filter with the clear tube extending upward. Ideal tankmates for this fish would include Leptolucania Ommata, Lucania Goodei & other very small fishes, but does best by itself, to avoid competition for food. The males are just starting to show tiny specks of blue coloring. Water temp 68�-74� PH 5-7 Soft water with little or no dissolved minerals (RO or rainwater works good if you are unsure) $10 shipping. Postal money orders or paypal only.

See my DOA policy on my "Just Me" page. After the auction ask for my paypal address or ask for an invoice if you are unfamiliar with the payment process. At this time i will need to know if there are any other fish you would like to add to your order, they will be gladly added to your invoice at opening bid price or current bid price, whichever is greater. The addition of fish to your order may or may not result in a $10 increase in shipping costs, depending on the type of fish added to the order, feel free to ask if adding fish to your order will increase your shipping costs or not.

Unless otherwise posted, fish are sold as varied size & of varied gender & no promised size or gender. I often include extras as an added bonus to my customers at no extra charge, if you do not have the space or are not interested in extras you will have to opt out. Once the minimum promised amount of fish arrive alive, my obligation will have been met and i will consider the sale a success. In the extremely unlikely event the amount of DoA's exceed the amount of freebies, the cost of the DOA fish may be prorated and refunded, especially if the buyer declines to pay for a reship, just email me a mandatory photo of the DOA's for my records. I do not guarantee or promise the size of fish, gender of fish, or time frame delivery of fish, unless specifically otherwise posted. Although I usually prefer to process orders quickly, I reserve the right to ship fish up to 7 days after payment has been made and up to 14 days during weeks in the vicinity of a major holiday, inclement weather, natural disaster, or acts of terrorism.

24hrs prior to shipment, fish are withheld food to reduce in transit ammonia levels. Fish are shipped Priority mail with medical grade oxygen, clean water and cushioned with impact absorbing insulation. I usually ship on a Saturday for a Monday arrival to minimize transit time & shipping stress to the fish. Once your fish are shipped you will receive email tracking alerts, these alerts are usually the only form of post-payment communication you will receive from me, unless you contact me for verification of payment or verification of shipping status. You are most liklely to begin to receive email tracking alerts on Saturday afternoon between 11am-9pm. Please make sure your home address listed with paypal is correct & complete (i.e street, drive, Ave). Also please make sure your home address with paypal matches the home address listed with Aquabid, if it does not match your shipment could be delayed by as much as a week. If you have 2 different email addresses, monitor both until your fish arrive.

If for some reason you have trouble contacting me, check your spam folder, check your other email addresses, or contact me thru the aquabid messaging system. Do not order fish before going on vacation. I reserve the right to cancel the sale and issue a refund to customers deemed Difficult or Verbally abusive. I do not ship fish during or in the vicinity of weeks that contain a holiday. I do not ship fish during or in the vicinity of weeks expected to have a heavy mailstream. I ship fish according to the fishes best interest. Thanks for looking at my auctions and feel free to contact me with any questions!
