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.

The Tools we use here to |

The information below only applies to the
shipping of live fish. Hard goods shipping is
unaffected, and I always ship the levamisole
and other products on the day following payment.
With payment early enough, I am often able to
ship the same day.
So why is Select Aquatics having trouble
shipping Live Fish affordably?
For many years I received biological quality
Styrofoam boxes from a local University.
My contract as the Styrofoam recycler ended
when Covid began, as shipments to the
University ended. For two years I have been
purchasing biological quality boxes (I have not
reflected the cost in my prices), and they are
excellent thermal boxes that keep losses
below 0.5%. These boxes will hold one
group of six 2-4 Month Old Unsexed, 2 pair,
or four 1.5 - 2.5 in. plecos, all with an extra.
Many fish here, particularly the
Green Dragons,
I would not consider shipping in a lower quality
box.
I understand that many who ship will cut Styrofoam
inserts and put them into 3-5 Day Priority boxes,
and then ship them overnight with Overnight
Express paperwork. I do not have the Styrofoam
inserts here but am looking into them, for shipping
some of the hardier species, such as young
Odessa barbs, Tiger limias and Ameca
splendens, and young pairs of some of the other
goodeids. To do this would save roughly
$20 - $30 on shipping Overnight Express.
This past
spring, the overwhelming majority of
overnight boxes going out arrived late. USPS
also announced that starting October 1st,
shipments will be further delayed and prices
will be increased, until January.
After speaking with representatives from both
USPS and UPS, receiving test quotes from both,
and doing two test shipments with USPS to check
their current dependability, current shipping costs
to ship using my standard boxes are listed below.
These are the rates you will be quoted. USPS
rates below are before the current holiday
increase that takes effect Oct. 1st.
To order two
groups can be done with smaller
fish two ways. (not with plecos or pairs). 2 groups
of 6 with one or two extras can be shipped in
two boxes, or it may be possible, with smaller
fish, to fit up to 10 fish in a box. Two groups
could then be shipped as 5 fish each in a
single box.
All fish shipments are arranged by emailing
selectaquatics@gmail.com with your zip code
for a quote, following an availability video
announcing a species is ready to be shipped.
With a subscription to the Select Aquatics
Yotube Channel, you will receive a notification
when the videos are posted.
Test addresses checked were from
Select Aquatics to NY., FL., CA. and WA.
As is the case with any order
of live fish,
if I have overestimated your shipping cost
by more than $6 in the quote provided, then
I will refund the entire difference back to you
so that you will not overpay for shipping.
___________________
USPS Overnight Express*, Regular or
Hold For Pickup**:
$113 - $120, Depending on your Zip Code.
In-state and neighboring states (Wyoming,
New Mexico, Kansas, Utah, Nebraska), may
be as low as $80 - $85.
* USPS announced recently that they are
going to raise their rates starting October 1st,
as well as delay their shipping times, possibly
suspending Overnight Express delivery entirely,
returning to normal rates and delivery times
after the 2021 holidays. I do not know what the
increases will be, but anticipate they could be
$5 - $10 added to the above cost, when
Overnight delivery is offered.
** Due to the number of refunds being issued
for late overnight deliveries, USPS recently
delayed their delivery times until 6 pm before a
refund will be issued. It was formally 3 pm.
The problem is that most Post Offices close
at 5pm. The result is that with a Hold For Pickup
delivery, a pickup will need to be arranged
with your local post office if your box arrives
after the lobby has closed, or you will not
receive your box until the next day, but it is
considered an on time delivery.
UPS 2nd Day Air
$80 - $115, Depending on your zip code.
UPS Next Day Air
$202 - $230, Depending on your zip code
USPS 3-5 Day Priority.
I do not use 3-5 Day Priority. Paypal does
not recognize 3-5 Day Priority as a viable means
of shipping live fish, and someone with a DOA
can contact Paypal, and they will refund the
entire payment of their order without proof.
As well, 3-5 Day Priority for much of the spring
were arriving 1-3 days past predicted delivery
times, making shipping fish not possible without
losses. Some claim they do not mind losses, or
are happy with any fish that survive. I strive to
get the fish to you as healthy and unstressed
as possible. Killing them to ship them is
something I make every effort to avoid.
I have about 30 orders pending on this
information, and will be contacting each of
you with these new figures to decide
whether to proceed with shipping.
For all
of the species here, I will post an
Availability Video when they are ready
to be shipped, and with an email to
selectaquatics@Gmail.com as soon as
the video is posted, I will send you back
a quote to ship the fish out to you.
This current break in shipping
has been very
good for many species to build back out, and
I am shuffling my
Green Dragon breeding
groups, retiring older fish, and bringing up
younger higher quality breeders to improve
the line. Breeding seasons for the
Ilyodon
furcidens,
zoogoneticus tequila and
Xenotoca doadrioi are beginning to
kick in,
and some species, such as young unsexed
Odessas,
Tiger Limias and
Ameca
splendens are doing well and should
continue to be available into next year.
The production of upcoming
YouTube
videos has started and video of the
fish
here and how things are going will be
posted in the next couple months!

Canadian Customers:
USPS has reconfigured
Canadian shipping.
Levamisole is shipped regularly, but my
fertilizer has sometimes been delayed by
Canadian Customs.
There are 3 ways to ship the levamisole
(10, 20 or 52 grams) and they are:
First Class - Up to 3 weeks - $14 + Medication
6-10 days - $27 + Medication
3-5 Day Priority - $45 + Medication
US rates have not changed. (3-5 Day - $8.50)
