Posting for Eric Bodrock: Below is a pre-sale list of fish I can deliver to the PVAS meeting on Saturday November 4th, 2023. Fish must be paid for in advance via PayPal, questions, please ask coryjeb@comcast.net(mailto:coryjeb@comcast.net) I have stopped shipping livestock due to the all the hassles in dealing with the carriers and their inefficiencies in their ability to deliver on time and to the correct address. The only way anyone will be able to receive any livestock from us is to either catch up with me at an event like this or by stopping by to pick up in person at our place.    Limia yaguajali “Rio Cana Dominican Republic” .75-1” unsexed $14 Aphanius marassantensis “TUBCD 05/19” bloodline/Manuel Zapater .75-1” unsexed $14 Aphanius sirhani “Azraq Oasis, Jordan”, bloodline/Russell Feilzer .5-.75” unsexed $10 Corydoras acutus, 1.25” or better, F2/F3, unsexed, $14 Corydoras hephaestus, F1, 1”, unsexed, $145 each (limited) Corydoras knaacki / CW032, F1, 1” or better, $10 Corydoras sp.
