Are you sure about this, so far the info i have gotten tells me that i need some paper work, and even then the border might keep the package for up to 7-14 days. Too long, any delay is too much.

i worked for a fish farm for a year. our main customers we shipped to was canada. We shipped to winnepeg, saskatoon, grand prarie, sterling heights, and some others i cant think of right now.

thanks for the info GS ill check into that, not that i dont trust, but wouldnt want anything to happen to these little guys

GSELLERS · 08-15-2008, 12:36 AM

definitely....its not worth the death just to save a couple of bucks

This is the first fish I have seen that needs to be culled

Notice the severe underbite?

Woodstock · 08-15-2008, 12:01 PM

All babies with their head stipes are switched to a stable food of crushed flake and supplemented with live nauplli, thawed cycloopeeze, and brine shrimp eggs (decapsulated).

Stacef · 08-15-2008, 12:07 PM

Poor guy.. why would he have to be killed because of an underbite?

Woodstock · 08-15-2008, 12:16 PM

One of the rules for breeding fish is to cull mercilessly. I am still working on it...

blue_eyes53813 · 08-15-2008, 12:19 PM

Ohhh no just send him to me...

SeaMunky · 08-15-2008, 12:35 PM

Aww..couldnt it be given to someone that would not use it for breeding but just as a fish for their home or daycare woody?..Just a thought..Ohh man, I am in big trouble if it came to that with my little guys, *heres hoping my bangaii babies make it this round* I's end up with 200 tanks running just to keep em all..lmaoooooooooooo
Great job Doni

jellyman · 08-15-2008, 12:41 PM

Do not cull it. I'm sure someone would like him. I have a lone clown that would not mind a free pair.

Stacef · 08-15-2008, 12:56 PM

Please do not cull it, I will take him if nothing else.

Woodstock · 08-15-2008, 12:57 PM

Humm... maybe I could set up a drawing where I pull a name out of a hat and that winner gets a free 'culled' fish ?

I really hope I don't have many of them and I just don't know if I could kill it...

schackmel · 08-15-2008, 01:21 PM

hes sooo cute...and he is obviously able to eat! Just cant breed...as to not pass it on! Sounds like you got a lot of takers...heck, sign me up for him..hes got a lot of good markings already!
