    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 
    Do Customers Think of Select 
    Aquatics" at the link just above!

     Midsummer  2017

    -  The Green Dragon Plecos are now being shipped, and most are at
       just 2 inches. With all orders of plecos only, I am introducing one
       price $40 USPS Overnight Express Mail to anywhere in the US,
       for any number of plecos. The one price shipping, at this time,
       applies to orders of plecos only. All other and mixed orders are
       standard overnight rates. To order the Green Dragon Plecos, 
       please email me at selectaquatics@gmail.com , with how many you  
       would like and your zip code, and I will email you back a quote 
       with payment information and the next available shipping date.

    - Thank you to all who ordered fish after the posting of the
       Aquarium COOP video!! (Rarest livebearer Tour, Green Dragons).
       63 boxes of fish were shipped in the month following the posting,
       and all arrived safely. So I am working to breed back out the
       Ilyodon furcidens, sexed Green Dragons, Odessa barbs and some
       of the other species raised here that have been sold down to the
       breeders. The availability of everything will be kept up to date
       here on the webpage. Thank you!

    - Over 100 X. montezumaes have been shipped to wait list customers,
       most all have been 2-4 month old unsexed fry groups, and I will
       continue to contact people and ship as the fish continue to be
       bred out.

    - An Odessa breeding was videod over a month, with close guidance
       on every aspect of breeding these barbs successfully. Dozens of
       clips are being compiled, and the video will be posted soon to
       assist those looking to preserve this unique and spectacularly
       colored line that has been selectively bred here. This fish is in
       high demand with pet stores! Other videos on the Fishroom,
       and on each of the species here and their care are also being
       put together.

    - Over this last month 6 racks were replaced, and the 19 racks here
       are all now the exceptionally sturdy wooden racks detailed HERE.

    - With the recent sales and restructuring of the fishroom, each of
       the species being maintained for preservation, but that had never
       produced consistently enough to be sold, have been shipped out to
       serious hobbyists that have had success with these fish, and that
       may be able to provide closer water qualities than could be given
       here. The extra space will be devoted to increasing the numbers
       of those species that are in high demand, but have not bred at a
       rate to keep them routinely available,  particularly the
       C. lateralis / Red audax morph, the X. montezumae and the
       Gold alvarezi, a line that that was created here.

     - Levamisole is now offered in 10 gram packets for just $20
       (including shipping), much more than enough to treat any problems
       that may arise in just a couple of aquariums. (will treat over
       2000 gallons).

    - When shipping live fish with temperatures in the 80s, many customers
     request shipping "Hold For Pickup" to avoid hours spent in a hot
     enclosed Postal Truck. It costs nothing, and you follow tracking and
     pick up the box from your local Post Office at your convenience. Labeling
     shows clearly "Hold For Pickup" so it can be spotted and pulled easily
     by your local Post Office. I want to be sure every fish sent to you
     arrives healthy- Highly recommended this time of year!  

     Thank You!
