Sorry, but I didn't see the delivery date. If it is this weekend, please put me down for 2 flower anemones (regular, NOT orange).

Hey Shaun, Where do we have to pick up when the order arrives?

if there is still a chance to order i would kill for a black cap basslet. that would make my week

I am going to have them sent to Michael's (marrone) apartment on Friday of this week, he has the tanks to contain them, since I cannot contain 800+ inverts in my tank, since they would destroy the tank and be impossible to catch once placed inside. But I may have part of the order sent to me, split it in two. Michael is also at a central location in NYC.

Depending on him you can pick them up anytime after they arrive. We will know more as the time draws near, but regardless, plan on picking them up at the latest sometime this weekend. Everyone must have their order in by tomorrow!

As for the requests for anemones and fish, I was not planning on those being in the group buy, so please limit yourself to shrimp, crabs and snails only. I am sorry, we don't have the ability to hold your fish. If possible though I will add the anemone requests,

Cleaner Shrimp:

Pet Solutions - $19.11 each shipped

Premium Aquatics - 2 for $25 before shipping

Saltwaterfish - $19.48 each shipped

At these prices Shaun, I'll probably just go to Petland and get 'em for $19.99 + tax.

ya that makes sense. damn

If I can add your fish I will, I don't want to leave anybody out. I just don't want to kill it because we didn't have the correct setup to place it in,

I tend to agree. From what I have been looking at also there seems to be no breaks for cleaner shrimp anywhere.

Will adding fish cause the shipping to increase? Most of the time they ship the Inverts with little or no water.

I do have tanks to hold the fish but to have them shipped then placed in a tank and then re-bag will place alot of stress on them.

No it won't cost any more.

That's why I didn't want to have any fish in this order. Do you think that you can hold it?

Scotty, are you OK with taking the risk?

 

[marrone]

How many fish are we talking about here and how long. The order is coming in Friday so if the fish are pick up by saturday it should be a problem. Just not alot of fish as most of the fish can't be mixed together and I don't have space for a whole bunch.

Just one at this point so it should be OK.

Scotty, it is not a problem now,

. I just wasn't sure if Michael could house a fish, since we are setting up a special temp. tank just to house the inverts (so that tank probably won't be cycled), but he seems to think that it won't be a problem.

As for shipping, it is free since we are ordering so much. So I am adding your fish to the order, and it works out in the end, .

Shaun, here's one place I didn't consider for the cleaner shrimp, until I saw a post by Tim

Reef Exotics

 

[ShaunW]

Dean, they are a good price but unless I am wrong we have to pick them up! I personally have no ability to do that, do you?

 

[spykes]
