Select Aquatics

Select Aquatics breeds affordable,
quality, specialty tropical fish for
hobbyists and conservation
research. Most are not often
seen and many are endangered
or extinct in the wild. This site
is also a one stop place for
fishkeeping information on how best to
keep these fish.
If you are keeping an aquarium,
you have the opportunity to help
preserve species that are about to
go extinct in the wild. As well, due
to increased export restrictions,
many species are at risk of
disappearing from the hobby.
The fish offered here are hardy,
generally not difficult to care
for, and may depend on
hobbyists such as yourself to
maintain their availability. |

_________________________________
Ordering new species you've never
kept from someone you don't know
with water different than yours can
be scary. Some assurance that in
6 months the fish will still be doing
well would be ideal, particularly
since many of these fish are rare
or hard to obtain.
From your first email to inquire
about ordering until the moment
they arrive, we will keep in close
touch to answer any questions you
may have so that you know exactly
what you are getting, and precisely
when they will be sent. Care
information for each species is
also provided Here.
Postage is never overcharged, and
extras are nearly always sent with
carefully done, professional
shipping. To help ensure they do
well for you, a Care Guide is
provided for each species from
the link below. Be sure to check
the updated comments at "What

Aquatics" at the link just above!

What's
Been Going On
at Select
Aquatics! |
 |
|
|
|
|
Late Fall 2020 .Thank
you to everyone who has ordered following
the posting of recent Availability Videos for the
Longfin Green Dragons,
the Limia
perugia Boca
de Cachons,
(which are still available), the
Odessa Barbs and the
Xiphophorus Montezumas.
I have so far shipped out 97 of the
Longfin Green
Dragons, (19
orders of 4+1, and one order of 2 fish),
with only one box arriving a day late, and no losses.
The next batch are coming up, and when ready to
ship I will be contacting the remainder of the
saved 20 emails from those who wrote but did not
receive fish following the last Availability Video.
12 groups of the
Limia perugia Boca de Cachons
have also been shipped, and this incredibly
spectacular fish, with less than 300 in existence -
over 200 of them are here- needs to be maintained
by those with the tank space and desire to help keep
this fish from going extinct. They are not difficult to
maintain, but do require consistent husbandry with
occasional feedings of live or frozen foods, and
species-only tanks for them of 30 gallons or larger.
Be sure to check out their Availability Video
HERE.
Lastly, the manufacturer of the base
mix for the
Rapid Grow Aquarium Plant
Fertilizer has
suspended production temporarily, and I am told
it will be available again very shortly. I am in contact
with both my local vendor and the company, and
will post the fertilizer as available in the left column
as soon as it is again ready to be shipped.
I will ship when temperatures are
above 35°
here and at your destination with a heat pack ,
Hold For Pickup. Due to suspension of
Overnight Express deliveries, and overall
rougher handling, I will cease shipping from
November 15 until December 1. I will then ship
until December 15, and will resume regular
shipping, temperatures permitting, on
January 4.
P. Velifera News - After not breeding to expectations
here, I now have a customer that has Velifera
available and is shipping them.
Please Email
azulaquatics20@gmail.com
He is also a long term customer of Select Aquatics,
and drop him an email to have him ship these out
to you! He sells them at .5 - 1.5 inches, 8 +
USPS Ovenight Express Shipping = $150.
They will ship them to you, payments and any other
arrangements will be handled with them. Thank you!
Canadian Customers - Though I am Unable to
Ship Live Fish To Canada, a Top Breeder and
Good Friend in the Toronto area is Currently
Offering my Line of Pethia
padamya (Odessa)
to Canadian Hobbyists, and is currently Shipping.
Email him to place an order at
odessa@fishez.ca
If you are a Canadian Breeder and are maintaining
any of my lines, and are willing to sell and ship within
Canada, pleae let me know, and I can post your
information here. Thank you!
Thank you!

Mr. Sage provided me with the
best experience I could've asked for. The wonderful fish he
breeds are priced
very affordably, and are super high quality.
He always responded to our emails swiftly and was extremely
helpful with any questions and concerns we had.
His packaging of the fish was phenomenal, and all (even the
extras!) arrived across the country in excellent
condition!
They are beautiful, healthy, and active. it was incredibly
stress-free as I knew I could trust the process.
Despite a small delay due to the USPS, Greg quickly assured us
that the fish would be fine.
Mr.
Sage has a great reputation in the livebearer hobby, and I can
say he has totally lived up to that
reputation for me and I'm looking forward to ordering from him
again! I seriously can't recommend him
enough.
Thank you for all you do for the hobby, Mr. Sage!
Christina K. NY
First, off thank you for the beautiful fish. Every time I
receive a new species from you I am always surprised by
how much more beautiful they are in real life versus the picture. The
Alfaro cultratus you sent for example are far more
stunning than any picture I have ever seen of them. That includes Google
image searches.
Jay G., The
Woodlands, TX
Hi Greg,
The
Odessa barbs are here, in GREAT shape, and currently
'acclimatizing' in a 5 gallon bucket with my own
graduated drip system.
Thank
you very, VERY much for your attention and care and patience
with me throughout this process. I've been
receiving fish via express mail for 30 years but your packing is a whole
new universe from what I've ever experienced.
Thank you
again for the 'bonus' fish which I counted as 8 but my wife
insists is 9. She also could not believe the packing
or condition of the fish. Also, thank you for the
anticipated forwarding of the rebate check for the excess
shipping charge.
When everything stabilizes, I'll forward some pics.
Again this has been the best fish purchasing experience I've
ever had.
