     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 above. Be sure to check
     the updated comments at "What Do
     Customers Think of Select Aquatics"
     at the link just above!

     The Tools we use here to
       Best Keep These Fish -
         Available For Sale!

                           Posted August 2016

   - We have been working hard to bring up numbers on
      many species, and many are now listed as available,
      and more will be added over the next couple months. 

   - To those on Wait List for Xiph montezumae: They  are
      doing well again, and many are just beginning to sex out.
      If you have been on a wait list for them since January, you
      you will receive an email offering them, 2 young pair for
      $45 over the next 2-4 months. Once wait list orders are
      satisfied, they will then be put up as available for sale here.
 
   - Many new species have been added as available, with
      more to come!

  - Many new articles are in the works, and will be Posted
     over the next few weeks, and for those considering the
     Giant Sailfin Molly, P. velifera, please check out he new
     essay on keeping them as they are not your standard
     molly-  A new section on troubleshooting problems with
     the fish, your tank and diseases, called the "Fixit" section
     is also being put together and will be posted soon.

   - For those who would like to keep the fish sold here, but
     may not have had luck with livebearers, or have never
     kept a truly rare species, please check out "I'm New To
     These Fish", that builds on he current site and addresses
     issues not covered in other places.

   - Due to the number of calls, and there is just me here most
      of the time, and I need to summarize any conversation
      and send an email to put any orders into writing
      anyway, I can no longer take phonecalls. Simply
      email me, and I will get back to you within 24 hrs.

   - Please check out the Open Letter to all fishkeepers.
     These fish are disappearing - it is literally up to you and I
     to ensure that these do not go extinct in the hobby, and for 
     some species, extinct entirely. It is up to the hobby - many of
     these fish are not being kept anywhere else, and hobbyist
     conservation efforts once common in the past are no longer
     being done. It is up to us to keep these around.
     

       Thank you!

    Hello, Just wanted to say thank you again for your great fish. I have already had one of  the X. mayae females produce her first brood.
    Today a Tiger Limia dropped fry for the first  time. The Tiger fry already have faint stripes on them!  I would definitely recommend your fish
    to anyone interested in high quality Livebearers!
     Dan K. Wake Forest, N.C.

     Dear Greg- I have 8 beautiful Alfaro cultratus happily swimming in their new home. They arrived at noon today and I picked them up within the
     hour. This has been a great experience from start to finish. I'm not sure how many of my fish friends are aware of your services but you can bet
     I'll tell them at our next meeting. Thanks a million for everything!
     Joe P. Waynesboro, VA. 

     Hey Greg - Really nice job with these guys. Those furcidens look bullet proof, they practically ate out of those bags. Nice touch with the heat
     packs and cloth wraps. Shows you took the time and these were professionally sent. I've been sent fish for 40 years and this easily was the best
     job. Please let me know if you get any other interesting fish!
    Ken B. Bridgewater, N.J.
