blue tilapia, lehigh acres, fl shipping or pickup

[aquatic chicken]

i am selling 40 one inch blue tilapia for $50. I will ship them to 48 states UPS next day air, shipping costs about $40-$50 depending on location. I will try to get the lowest shipping cost without making the fish stay in transit too long.

I will not ship these fish to states where they are illegal.

here is a video of the fish

Are you sure those are Blue Tilapia, Oreochromis aureus? I can't really tell in the video, but they look like some kind of Tilapia sp. instead of Oreochromis sp.

Can you post pics? Specifically body profiles and tail shots....

Thanks. GLWS

this is one of the adults, I have lots of fry, many 1 inch in size. shipping is expensive for a bag of fish, but if anyone wants to pick them up, I have sold 30 already to people locally

Would you possibly sell them in smaller groups like 10 or 20 tilapia? and would this reduce the shipping costs?

i would sell a minimum of 20 for $1.50 per fish but the problem is UPS charges alot of money for overnight shipping and water is heavy. To guarantee live arrive they must be shipped next day air.

i might be able to get it down to 5 lbs for 20 fish.
of course if you take a vacation in florida this summer you could always stop by.

Well I would really like them but from the quotes on shipping I was getting the shipping was just too much. Good luck with the sale.
