About My Fish Parent fish are unrelated and a mature pair (Male is 6"+). Pair is 6 years old. I originally purchased them as my algae team for my planted aquariums. Plecos are 18+ months old. My fish breed true super reds. My fish do not breed or produce albino, calicos or regular plecos.Guaranteed Male - The fish will be a guaranteed male and are sexually mature. These sizes are ready for breeding. Males are 2.75" to 3"+ in size. Diet Bristlenose plecos are not very picky eaters but I provide them with quality food. The main foods listed are my go-to food for my plecos but other food can be introduced by gradually feeding it to them. Other listed foods are given as a snack or treat (twice or once a week or once ever 2 weeks). This ensures the fish have a varied diet.

NO fish replacement or refunds provided for this shipping option except for CA customers. I have good experience shipping fish with this method as long as buyer is familiar how quickly priority mail gets to their location Estimate for USPS Priority (Updated 9/1/2022) WEST COAST - 2-3 Days (CA, NV) - w/ Live Arrival Guarantee for CA customers CENTRAL - 3-4 Days EAST COAST - 3-5 Days (AL, NY, VA) USPS Express shipping (preferred) - Live Arrival Guarantee - For my guarantee, I will ONLY offer to replace dead fish BUT buyer pays shipping if we cannot get a refund from USPS Express Guarantee. Buyer must send a VIDEO within 1 hour of delivery of the dead fish in the sealed bag showing the bag being slightly shaken to confirm the dead fish. I can also do USPS Express shipping with hold for pickup at same cost as USPS express shipping and I will provide you with the hub where you can pickup your fish. This is a better option for when you have an extreme weather condition on your end. USPS will ONLY refund express live animal shipping fees if they are delivered 3 days after shipping. Live animal Express shipments have a different guarantee. I have USPS tag all my orders as "live animal - others" in their system which is the legitimate way to ship fish. You can see the ruling below: https://about.usps.com/postal-bulletin/2009/pb22267/html/updt_001.htm#:~:text=2.4.,from%20the%20date%20of%20mailing. Saturday (11:59 pm PDT) is the last day to order for fish to ship the upcoming Monday. Fish are put on fasting 24 hours before being shipped. Reduced fish poop in the bag an ensures better survival during shipping. I ship Mondays for all orders and I can ship Tuesdays for West coast orders ONLY. Monday shipments have the best chance to arrive in the same week if any delays are encountered. Fish are professionally packed. Fish are individually double-bagged using 4 mil polybags (total 8 mil for 2 bags) that are sealed with an impulse sealer. I also use pure oxygen for each bag. Inner bags have the corners sealed diagonally to prevent ship from getting squished at bag corners. See PICTURES Fish are shipped in Styrofoam insulated box. I use a hot wire cutter for my insulation. Fish are shipped in large 12" x 9" x 9" boxes. Boxes have "Live Fish" stickers since orders are all tagged as USPS "Live animal - other" shipments. Heat packs are available and will be provided at no extra cost Care document is added with every order which gives additional information on care, breeding, feeding etc. I reserve the right to refuse an order is the temps are too extreme to ship fish safely. Please check your weather before ordering.
