Has anyone posted bristlenose eggs and had them reard by byer

Hi
Just a thought has anyone sent bristlenose eggs throu the post and had them hatched and reard by some one else succesfully as this idea came from sending killi fish throu the post all over the world. :idea:

there is a women in blackpool that sells the eggs when they have just got to wrigglers sells hundreds at a time, feedback from people I know who have bought them is they then to loose 85-100% of them and now stay well clear !

this is the one to stay WELL CLEAR off IMHO

i picked up a breeding group of LDA01 and brought the eggs back with me they where bagged up for about 6 hours and they where fine but im not sure if they would last over night in the post

ive seen them sell maybe 300-400 fry once for just £35...something fishy there??

Hi
All,ive seen those on ebay an would not take the chance of bying the eggs unless i was 100% shouer of the surval rating,but i wasent on about wriggelers just the eggs before they hatched in a small container say a plastic testube in water to save on postage and treated for fungi,sent in wormer wether,if i get mine to breed i will try this out with my friends.

well this is a new one on me and wouldnt want to post eggs dont see the point tbh.
would,nt post wrigglers either i tend to put the fishes best intrest first before the money and thats all their doing. cashing in

i also think they should at least be at the 1 inch mark before they are sold...more chance of survival when sold...and less comeback....

I think their feedback is good because initially after collecting the young fry, all seems well, and appears to be a bargain. However, I bet if you asked the buyers again a week or so later, that they would have lost at least 75% of the fish.

As for posting eggs. I wouldn't trust it, after all, the eggs need fanning and that can't be done whilst in postage. Just my thoughts of course.

I agree....

Hi Angi & Curby
I realy think a lot of it is the is due to colection of the fish,as they should not feed for a day which is ignored and the way they catch them,then drop them in a plastic bag also putting to many in the bag, can you imagen beeing droped out of an airoplaine into the sea and then trying to swimm with out any trurma,no wonder a lot end up belly up after re homeing,even if you get the water perameters the same as what they came in and you put them in the new home this does happen.

This is not a good idea. I wouldn't touch it from either side.

Eggs and even small fry are looked after closely by the father. You can't assume to know all his responsibilities much less take over for him 24/7.
