Small Group Buy (Mostly Apistos)

If you haven't done a pre-order with Batfish, here's how it works. You e-mail me what you want, and send, via PayPal, a 50% deposit on the fish to BatfishAquatics@gmail.com. If you order by PM, reply, etc., you will probably not get your fish. The fish will be brough to the PVAS meeting, and you will then pay the remaining 50%. If, for some reason, they do not come in or are otherwise unacceptable, you will get a refund of your deposit (or, as is typically the case, one of the 16 fish you ordered didn't come in, and we just apply the deposit to the remaining balance).

If you cannot make the PVAS meet, we can bring the fish to one of the other local meetings, or make arrangements for pickup or shipping.

Please note that -- in case you don't have windows -- weather is sucky right now, and there is a small chance the whole order will not arrive before the PVAS meeting. If that's the case, I'll contact you and we'll figure something out; worse case, I'll hold onto them until April. :)

Please note the minimum quantities on some of these items. Also, please note that these fish are not currently on hand -- that's why this is a "PRE" order. Please do not ask me for photos, size, sex, etc. I can try my best to provide that information, but most likely I just don't have it. As far as size goes, if it isn't specified, it's what you'd expect for the price; you're not going to get a 8" male ancistrus with bristles 2" long for $5. :)

I need orders placed by no later than Tuesday at 5 PM. I'll additionally be publishing a second list with some other, less expensive fishes on it.

IF you bring a pot of Chili to the PVAS chili cook off, you can take 10% off your remaining balance.
