    How many do you want they are @ 3/4" long almost. I have not shipped any but I sure can try. If you pay for shipping and a couple little heat pads for like 1 dollar ea. ya I would try shipping them, probably ship usps overnight. What were you thinking.

    I'm having no problem with them laying eggs, and the eggs hatching, but it's downhill from there. I've managed to save the fry a few times and put them into a tank, but no luck with keeping them going. What do you feed them? I know rotifers are the best, but do you grow your own? Or purchase them?

    I can get them out of the tank every time if I tried. Just with no luck on the feeding end, I don't bother anymore.

    They have to pair up on their own I would put only 2 fish in the tank to pair up.
