Moving forward, the fish will receive freshwater dips periodically (usually every other day for the first week). This is to ensure flukes can not take hold. On the alternating days, if necessary, fish will be given a 30-60 minute bath in formalin to treat for uronema or prevent it. This is usually based off of supplier or species. To keep the system clean, on alternating nights, we will dose Formalin and Prazi. I do this further ensure that nothing is given the chance to take hold and potentially reinfect a fish. This is of course done as a secondary precaution.

Punctual & Personal Communication:
Like you, we started off as hobbiest, so we know what its like dealing with retail stores or impersonal fish sites. That is why we pride ourselves on making your experience a positive and personal one. We will are here to talk with you, answer questions and find you exactly what you are loking for. All you have to do is send a message or give me a call!
Shipping Options:Delta Cargo:
Delta Cargo Collection Shipment are our personal recommended choice by far! Reason being, is that they take special care of the "live animals" and treat boxes with with extra care! We also appreciate that it is much less stressful on the fish, there is no transferring between trucks, hubs, and planes; once its dropped off and checked in, it gets placed on the plane and that's it! No getting shaken, dropped, or thrown from vehicle to vehicle, but the real reason we recommend Delta is because more often than not, it is same day arrival! Now there will be cases where this is not always the case depending on flight availability and airport location, but the treatment of the package still has us favoring Delta. We pack all of out boxes to last anywhere from 48-96 hours just in case a delay occurs, but if it was possible to shorten the trip to under 24 hours, why wouldn't we right? Once the order is placed, we will contact you to schedule the box. On the day of the scheduled flight, we will drop off the boxes early to ensure it makes it on the first flight out and the tracking number will be sent to you. All Delta Cargo Collection boxes can be tracked at www.deltacargo.com. We will also send you specific instructions on how and where to pick up the box. If you're close to an airport we highly recommend this shipping option and encourage you to try it out!
FedEx Priority Overnight:
FedEx Priority Overnight boxes will be dropped early at our nearest FedEx Ship Center to ensure they make it one the first truck out and minimize chances of delays! Typically boxes will arrive by 10:30am the following day. Smaller cities may receive boxes as late as 12:00pm. Once the order is placed, we will contact you to schedule the box and send you the tracking the day of ship out!

Local Pick Up is available to all of our local customers! Often we will make an effort to drive out and deliver the box personally, or meet you where you wish to minimize your effort, depending on the distance! We will of course be in contact with you every step of the way!
