Convicts Portland/Salem pick up/delivery

[Modest_Man]

I have four, two breeding pairs. Two male and two females.

Got them to be target fish for my midas, who is now starting to beat on them pretty hard so I feel bad. The males have some split fins. They should heal.

Both males are 4-5" and both females are 3". I got them in February at under 1", so they're not very old. The males are beasts for sure.

You can pick up in the Woodburn area or we could plan a meet at a mutual location, like the Wetspot in Portland.

Are you having better luck with that Midas? I know you were pretty frustrated with his hiding a while back...

Free connie's. The photo's are awsome. Great looking fish. Wow, I wish I was back home in Portland, I'd take them off your hands.
Would you consider shipping them to St. Johns, Arizona, 85936? A 1500 mile trip seems a bit far right now.
I'd be willing to pay for Shipping.

Midas was eating like a pig for a while, now he's back to being picky since I added more hiding spots for the convicts.

If you want to drop ~$120 for four convicts let me know. Overnighting four decent sized fish is NOT cheap.

How is it that expensive to ship? Most places can overnight a fish for as little as around $40.

Well it's not "a" fish it's four fish. And they'll all need separate bags. Which means they'll need a larger box. Which also means they'll all need their own water. And they're not 1" fry, the males are about 5" each. Which means they'll need more water each than smaller fish. I am also not a business so I don't have a discounted business shipping account. I also can't afford to eat the cost of packaging.

Using FedEx a 10lb box (water alone weighs 8.3lbs a gallon...so that's about 1/4 gallon of water a fish) that is a 15" cube (take away 1" all around for styro and divide by 4 for each bag and I have 7" square for each fish in bag) it would be $135 to overnight. Not including the cost of packaging or time and effort on my part.

So, tell me how you can ship four 3-5" fish overnight for $40? How many times have you shipped fish?

They were just dropped off at the WetSpot. If you want them you can find them there!
