If they are packed properly and an appropriate heatpack is used shipping fry isn't any different than shipping a larger fish.
 
Regardless of shipping they are still very fragile. At least wait till they are a month old. Personally I think that is too for much how big they are. You charging $5.80 per fry which at that size seems really high. If they were 1.5" I could say your justifiable. I notice you really over charge on all your fish on Aquabid.

Well...at least your honest.
 
Not trying to be an ass but its kinda true. You should wait till they are an 1-1.5" and then sell them $2-3 each. Or wait till they are 2-2.5" sell them for significantly more. Some fish the size doesn't effect the price but with these I would think they would.

There is no reason you why shouldn't get $20+ per shortbody onces they are at least 2-3".
 
I just think that if you grow them out a bit more you could much more money for them. I would love to have one down the road once they are bigger and I am sure others will too.

If you can find a buyer right now as they are then don't listen to me. Just trying to help.
 
It's ironic that before I became more active on this forum there was nothing wrong with my stock, my prices, or my sales for that matter.

Since this thread was posted all three are messed up.
