What do you plan to do with the fry? What size tank do you have? I have some Shubunkin fry but they will eventually need a pond or a very large aquarium as they get about 8” long. ( The ones I breed do). Others can grow over a foot. These are not feeder fish.

I sent you a private message. But I have a 38 gallon tank for the fry available .

Just sent you a response. I’d be happy to send you a couple when they get bigger. Right now they have to be fed 3 - 4 times a day and won’t survive shipping. I do have shipping boxes already. Would need to get a hold of some breather bags. Anyone know where I can get a couple??? This is with the understanding that they eventually go into a pond as we discussed.

Check Ebay for bags or visit a pet shop and ask if you can grab a couple from them.

Breather bags weigh heaps (due to being full of water) and are not the best for shipping fish if you pay the courier by weight or are sending them by plane.

Fast the fish for 24 hours before sending them.
Do a couple of big water changes a few days before sending them.
You can add some Ammogon/ zeolite (ammonia adsorbing granules) to the bag with the fish.
You can add a small piece of neutral block to the bag of fish to help stabilise the pH.

If you send them by plane, fill a plastic fish bag about 1/4 to 1/3 with tank water and add the fish. Top the bag up with oxygen and seal it up. Put that bag in another bag and seal it up. Put it in a third bag and seal it up. Put a plastic bag in an esky and put the bags of fish in the big plastic bag that is lining the esky. Seal up esky and send it off.

Thank you very much. Usually if you go into a pet store that sells fish and ask them for some bags they will be happy to sell you some of Thiers or maybe even give you some for free. And yes a pond is a requirement for large fish as such. I can promise they will go into a pond when they reach a good size.

I can get a few bags from my Lfs, I’m sure. Thanks, Colin for the info!
