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.

Do You Have Trouble
Keeping Livebearers?
There
is a very Common Disease in the
Hobby that causes many Livebearers to
become thin and perish. A small parasite
exists in our aquariums, and often comes
from where we obtain our Fish, and it
primarily affects Guppies,
Swords, Platies
Mollies and Limias.
Called "Livebearer Disease", this is
often why many have trouble keeping
livebearers. There is only one drug that
is effective at treating it -
Levamisole hydrochloride
Levamisole is also totally effective at
eradicating camallanus worms and
other minor pathogens.
This Drug is not Available from your
Local Fish Store. Various sized
packets are offered below with a
measuring spoon. A 10 gram packet
will treat 500 gallons. See more info
HERE
and in the right column below.

CHEAPER SHIPPING
OPTIONS!!
The high quality thermal boxes that
I have been using are being discontinued,
and I have been obtaining other boxes
sized to ship two pair, USPS overnight,
for as little as $65-$70, depending
on your ZIP Code. The New Boxes
will be used to Ship Groups of Six
2-4 Month Old Unsexed, or Two Pair.
The Zoogoneticus
tequilas
have been
selling well, with roughly 30 young pairs still
Available. All Goodeid Pairs are $30 per pair.
Since mentioning here that the
Ilyodon furcidens
were about to be available for sale, I have
received many emails, and the stock ready
to be sold was bought up quickly, before the
Availability Video could even be posted.
There were 25 pairs available of them. This
year's breeding season is about to start for them,
and I have once again expanded the number of
breeding groups, to hopefully have a larger number
available, and to be able to keep them in stock
(similar to the
Zoogoneticus tequilas above) as
their numbers build out over the next 2-3
months.
Three new batches of the
Selectively Bred
(since 2010) Odessa Barbs
have been
started, and young at the 2-4 Month Old
Size should be Available in 3-5 weeks.
When Ready to Ship, roughly 500 will be
Available.
The highly colored
Xenotoca doadrioi
are
doing well, and five large breeding groups
should have groups of 2-4 Month Old
Unsexed or young pairs available by early
spring.
The Limia islai are in
limited supply, and the
Ameca splendens are
preparing to drop fry,
and should be available in groups of
2-4 Months Old Unsexed by this coming
spring.
The Xiphophorus
Montezumas continue to
adjust to the conditions here, as their second
generation is starting, and I am anticipating
they will be roughly another year before they
will be available.
-- Important News On The Green Dragons!! --
Select Aquatics will be focusing on getting
back to improving the
Green Dragon line,
the Green Dragons were Developed here
starting in 2010. I will be offering "Breeder Select"
top quality young sexed pairs for sale as soon
as they are ready, mid to late spring 2024.
The current stock coming up are spectacular
with consistent, extensive finnage, and an all
over Forest/ Emerald Green Color.
The 1.5 - 2.5 inch Unsexed will be bred and
shipped from a second facility and bred by
someone I have been working with for about 3
years. More information on this will be posted
as Young Plecos become available for sale late
2024, early 2025. I am working to have young
pairs available soon, by late spring, 2024.
Due to the expense of raising them (I feed
180 lbs. of Green Beans here per month, plus
high quality carnivorous foods) producing roughly
160 fish from generally around 1000 raised per year),
the per pair cost will be kept low at $350 a pair,
which will include 1-2 Day USPS free shipping.
Those not sold are shortfins, albinos and those
of poor quality.
Orders of 2 pair or more can be done as well,
depending on demand.
With the Longfin Green Dragon Young Sexed
Pairs, I will set up a wait list for those
serious to
purchase these, and will contact you when
they are ready to be shipped. However, the
1-5 - 2.5 inch unsexed have always sold out quickly,
and I cannot estimate the number of young pairs I
will have available at this time, and fish will be
shipped to those on the waitlist in the order they
are received.
As the 1.5 - 2.5 inch Unsexed plecos grow out,
and a date when they will be predicted to be ready
for sale is known, the contact information for the
other
breeder will be posted here, and he will be ready to
start responding to emails. We are anticipating that
he should have fish available by late fall 2024,
spring of 2025.
_________________________________
Greater Availability of Species!!
When
Select Aquatics began, I posted
the letter to the right to all serious
hobbyists, to consider taking on some
of these exceptionally rare species,
maintaining them long-term, and
distributing them to others, so they do
not continue to disappear from the hobby.
A few have come forward, and I was
recently very pleased to tour
Ed's Aquatic Exotics, outside of
Pittsburgh, to find that Ed is working
very hard to keep and maintain a
number of species no longer carried
by Select Aquatics. Known through
emails as we share the same concern
for optimum fish health, his lines are
well established and robust.. Check
out his site from the link to the left
and HERE - -
EdsAquaticExotics.
I have also
added my friend Marshall
that has been supplying packing supplies
to Select Aquatics for the past 14 years,
most importantly providing breather bags
and heat packs, and his site can be visited
HERE.
Please
check out the other links to
the left and I will be adding more
recommendations in coming weeks!
Canadian Customers:
USPS has reconfigured Canadian
shipping.
Levamisole is shipped regularly, but my
fertilizer has sometimes been delayed
by Canadian Customs. (But did get
delivered.)
There are 2 ways to ship the levamisole
(10, 20 or 52 grams) and they are:
First Class - Up to 3 weeks -
$15 + Medication cost
3-5 Day Priority - $45 + Medication
Thank you!
