Pre Order List for the JUNE Meeting

JLW

CCA Members
Hey everyone, I have a huge, massive, incredible pre-order list. I have a shipment of West African fish coming in later this week, which I will add to this, hopefully tomorrow night.

This is a pre-order list, meaning the fish are currently not on hand. Please do not ask me for pictures, sizing information, to get you a male, etc. -- I don't have that information, except where it's listed below. Please note that this differs from the current list of in stock fish, which is available at: http://www.batfishaquatics.com/freshwater.php.

The way a pre-order works is that you must make a 50% deposit on these fish to secure them. They're all listed at a lower price than what would usually be available. That's because I'm not buying them "on spec," but with a specific customer in mind (you), so I can offer them at a lower price, as I do not have to indefinitely house them, feed them, clothe them, etc. These fish will be arriving on FRIDAY the 23rd, and can be picked up at the GWAPA meeting on the 24th, at the PVAS meeting on the 7th, at the Batfish Warehouse in Burtonsville, MD, by arrangement between the two, or at the CCA meeting on the 14th. They may also be shipped, but please ask about shipping charges before hand. Also, please ask about pickup arrangements beforehand, too -- please don't assume I'll be available! :)

You must place the order by E-mail to BatfishAquatics@gmail.com, not on the forums, by PM, telepathy, or note-arrowed-to-my-front-door (Sorry, Oliver). You must also make a 50% deposit via PayPal to that same e-mail address. Please tell me when you would like to pick up the fish as well. The cut-off date on this pre-order list is TUESDAY 20 MAY at 12-NOON.

Lastly, before getting to the list, I am officially instituting two new policies on pre-ordered fish. The first is on minimum quantities. The minimum quantities specified in the pre-order are enforced by the shipper, not by me or Batfish Aquatics. I don't really care if you want 12 or 2 Blue Mickey Mouse Moons. Please feel free to SPLIT minimum quantities with someone else -- and, if you tell me that "6 are for me, 6 are for So-N-So," I will generally put them in separate bags. I really don't mind. :) As long as a total of 12 or whatever are ordered, it makes no difference to me.

More importantly, though, a number of people recently have "stood me up" on picking up fish that they've pre-ordered. They ask to pick them up one day, and then either cancel or just don't show up, and ask about a second time, etc., etc. I actually still have fish for one person from a pre-order 3 months ago. Many times, pre-ordered fish are only one or two of something, and because I will generally not combine a new shipment of fish with an old one, I have a tank that is being held up by one or two fish, indefinitely. This eliminates the advantage of the pre-order on my end. As such, effective immediately, if you fail to pick up the fish as initially arranged (or sooner), you will void your deposit. With that being said, you all know me, and know that I'm a fairly reasonable and reasonably fair person -- the babysitter cancelled, it's snowing, there was a family emergency, I brought you scotch, etc. -- these things happen, and I won't hold it against you.

And, finally, not on the list, but available, I have a great selection of pond fish and plants -- let me know what you're looking for!

So, without further adieu --

Please note: our usual meeting on June 14th has been moved to the 21st because the school was not available on our usual date.

I hope this doesn't mess things up too much for you, Josh.

The ONE who is The ONE
I'll take:
10 C.Aeneus
10 Conchu Blue Tetras
And maybe two Altums. How big are they if you have the ability to find out. Also are you able to get pairs?

Which Hummingbird Tetra is it? I've come up with a few very different fish under that name courtesy of google.

Wait... are there really "Candiru" cats on your list, or are you just kidding around?

There are no registered keepers of T. davisi on planet catfish, now I know why...

Please order via e-mail. :)

The Altums are going to be about a 3-4" tall fish. That's way too small to accurately sex.

Characidium cf. fasciatum (per Weitzman and others, there are like 60 species of Characidium, most of which you and I cannot distinguish. Frustratingly, they're all spawnable in the average aquarium, but if you don't get them all at once, you'll probably get multiple species!).

This is not "The" Candiru. That fish is Vandellia cirrhosa; same family though.

Don't make me go through the myth busting process on the Candiru again. :beamup:

Hey, so long as they're the "darter" ones and not these - http://www.seriouslyfish.com/species/trochilocharax-ornatus/ - I'm interested. Of course, as usual, 12 is more than I know what to do with.

Is anyone interested in splitting an order of these?

BUT WAIT...

There's MORE:

Apisto. diplotaenia VERY UNUSUAL -- $45 each

L018 Gold Nugget -- $45 for 2", $60 for 3".
L047 King Pleco, Medium -- $85
L047 King Pleco, Jumbo -- $150

Luciocephalus -- $28.

whoa, that sounds incredible but that's a bit too big. Do you have anything in the 1ft-2ft range? Also, what is the 6+ discount for the 1.5" clown loaches?

The next size down would be $45. Which is a pretty big price drop!:)

Six plus of the smallest clown loaches would be $5.50 each -- not too big a price drop on that size.
