Thanks for the reply Mats.

I actually prefer meeting halfway, but some people have requested shipping from me, and I would like to open up more area to sell to with me living in a small town.

The ancistrus fry will be calico/albino/and regular ancistrus. Which I've heard are the hearty fellas, lol.

So is it alot better to use the Kordon breather bags for ancistrus fry?

Is overnight absolutely necessary? I've seen some people shipping their ancistrus fry via USPS Priority. And is pure oxygen necessary?

And I will be shipping within a 200 mile radius probably.

Thanks for the reply Richard. They are about 1/2" to 3/4" right now. I was thinking of shipping them at 1 inch.

Hello,

I am wanting to start shipping my ancistrus fry and want as much info and tips as possible. Best method and carrier? Straight oxygen or no? How many per bag? Min size for shipping? Bag buddies or no? Everything you know about shipping them, please share! Thanks!!

Hey ridout, what is the pleco hiding in that cave? (black and yellow)

Well...I think I'll be avoiding L183, haha, thanks guys!

Shoot...black water? How do you make a tank blackwater? Pete moss?

Hey, just wondering about L183 "White seam ancistrus". Are they pretty much the same fish as an albino bushynose? Same water parameters, diet, etc.? Are they as easy to breed? Thanks!

I was thinking they may have been missing the food as well. They all died gradually, not at the same time.

It was a little more then 5f less...so maybe that was the problem. I was trying tthe aquarium heater to heat up the new water, but it was taking forever...I guess I'll just have to prepare the water awhile before the actual water change, thanks again!

Marc

Great, thanks for the info, thank you!

Hello,

How big should I let my Albino Bushynose Plecos grow to before I move/sell them?

Thanks!

Ok, well, thanks for looking! I am using prime to condition the water...then letting it sit for awhile, and then adding to the tank. I have been adding colder water and maybe it is shocking their systems? Maybe I should try to keep it close to the same temp...I've heard that warm water from the tap ...

Hey everyone, I'm new here, so hi!
