Description

New in the hobby! - SEEN in recent AMAZONAS magazine!

You are bidding on a group of 4 unsexed, F1, Ancistrus sp. "Madama�, a new Ancistrus just recently seen here in the USA. They are sized at 1.25" or larger in total length. The parents of these fish were wild & hand caught by myself and a group of friends back in the end of April 2018 in the Madre de Dios region in Peru. Photo shows some random adult fish from my wild breeding group, me at their collection location, and an F1 juvenile. There is an article with more info and photos on these fish in the most recent (May/June 2021) issue of AMAZONAS magazine on page 94 & 95. Males grow to just over 4� TL and females about an inch smaller. They hold their color pretty well but may darken up some if kept on dark substrate. Easy to feed with assorted pellets, frozen foods and green beans and zucchini. Winner of the auction will have the option to add additional fish to the shipment at the winning bid price per fish.

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 $50 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.

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! THANKS FOR LOOKING AND MAKE SURE TO CHECK OUT ALL MY OTHER AUCTIONS, COMBINE WINNING AUCTIONS TO SAVE ON SHIPPING COST! Check out my feedback...it says it all about my fish & items and the way I do business!
