SRT fry

[Lead20]

Hey all so I ordered an awesome looking Super Red Texas female from aquabid. 3 weeks later I got my shipment but instead of 1 female they sent me 10 fish. My order got mixed up So now I have 10 SRT fry just hanging out in my extra tank. I wasn't planning on keeping fry anyone have tips for me? Thanks!

Sell them or trade to your LFS. Where in NY are you?

Near middletown ny. They look like good quality fish too the green Texas I raised didn't have as much spangling as these.

Just curious but did you contact the seller about the mistake and if so what did they say?

Thought I could recommend some places that might take them cause I have lived in Southern and in Northern NY but don't know anyone by you sorry.

Yes I contacted the seller. He mixed my order up with another so I got some nice fry instead haha. He's giving me a new female free of charge but I have to wait another few weeks.

Haha thank you anyway I am talking with a local store owner trying to get him to take at least 1/2 the fry and I was thinking about raising the few better looking ones myself and selling them off later on.

What you have are juvie RT's, not SRT's. I would grow them out and see what you end up with, maybe you'll get a winner out of the bunch?

Keep the biggest and best male out of the bunch and house it with your female that is coming to you. If they are compatible.

If he gets a female ..........


By the looks of these fish they came from Bangkok, so me being me I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for the seller (or transhipper?) to make this right with a new female for free. For now I would hold on to all of them, they look like they have good potential.
