Marigold Tuxedo Swordtail Fry - Los Angeles

[Cashlaw]

I have 15 of these little guys and the two females in the tank are already pregnant again.

The adults sell for $5 at the stores, but fry aren't very valuable until they grow up, and they're not big or expensive fish, anyway. These guys are free to anyone who might want them!

I like them just as pets, but for the more carnivorous-minded of us, I guess they could be feeders, or used to form a colony of feeders.

They are about 1 inch long each, and growing fast. They eat anything and everything. Ravenous eaters. They have been kept in regular LA tap water, I didn't use water from the R/O unit I have for sale, so they're used to harder water.

Below is a lousy pic of one of the fry in a pyrex cup: they don't sit still. LOL The pic is just about life-size. And a stock photo of a female adult, looks just like the parents. Adults are little over 3 inches long.

BUMP

Please take these guys off my hands! Even MORE fry in the tank this morning! LOL The 15 or so fry I have to give away are big enough to swim with the adults without problems. They're really fast swimmers, actually, they have been annoying the parents by snapping up food before the parents can get it. It's pretty funny to watch.

I haven't shipped live fish before. I've read the posts about using a flat rate Priority box. I think that would be $15 for the biggest box. If anyone wants to pay for that shipping (cheapest I can find), I'd be happy to box and ship them after the 4th of July. Or if you're in Los Angeles, come pick them up in Hollywood!
