Ancistrus mailorder source
Can anyone recommend a source for juvenile ancistrus? The local shops
only get them in sporadically and they often are full grown and in poor health. I'd like to get a group and see if they are as easy to breed as people claim. I think I'll have to go the mailorder route. Thanks, Chris |

Check aquabid.com
I ordered some from a guy in NJ and they arrived just fine here in TX. Be sure to avoid those who ship other than overnight. -- Victor M. Martinez http://www.che.utexas.edu/~martiv |

I dont agree with the shipping comment.
I order from a guy on aquabid alot and he ships priority mail, i get them in 3 days alive. Now i would want a guarentee of live delivery though, which that seller provides. Im not going to metion his name because im not advertising for him, im just giving my perception. Dustin "Victor M. Martinez" wrote in message ...

I order from a guy on aquabid alot and he ships priority mail, i get them in 3 days alive. Now i would want a guarentee of live delivery though, which I have done both (ordered fish online that were shipped either overnight or priority mail) I can say without a doubt that shipping fish priority mail is not a good idea. Every time someone has sent me fish this way, they are stressed, dead, dying, ammonia burned, etc. Priority mail and fish is gambling with the health of the fish. Every single fish order I have sent here by overnight (UPS, FED EX, etc) has been in perfect shape, do not die, do not come down with diseases a few days later etc. Priority mail works great for plants and snails though.
