My fish are raised in normal Reno tap water (pH ~7.2–7.8) at typical home-aquarium temps (about 68–78°F) on quality flakes, pellets, and frozen foods—hardy “real-world” stock accustomed to seasonal swings and normal conditions, not pampered in heavily controlled systems. You’ll receive 2 young males and 2 young females (2 pairs), shipped at a size where they’re already sexable and either breeding or close to breeding; juveniles will vary slightly in coloration from the pictured parents (photos show my actual breeding stock and juveniles). Shipping is UPS 2nd Day or Overnight, shipping quote can be provided if you send me your zipcode. Fish are packed in a well-insulated box with a heat pack if needed; fish are bagged individually when possible or in pairs to reduce stress. I ship Mondays and Tuesdays to avoid weekend delays, typical transit is 2–4 days depending on location, and shipping may be delayed in extreme heat/cold for fish safety (I’ll message you with the plan after purchase). DOA policy: in the rare event of a DOA, please send clear photos of the unopened bag within 2 hours of delivery for a refund on the lost livestock. Continental US only (no AK/HI). Thanks for supporting small-scale, hobby breeding—please check my other listings for additional home-bred fish.
