Shipping eggs is very easy Ernie, Just pull the mopp out, rid it of excess
water and put it in a fish bag and mail them 2 day service. Thats it its
that easy.. Be sure to put a little air in the bag as well.
Pet shops like colorfull fish, that is what sells. Praecox have good color
at 3/4 inch and that is what size you usually see them in a store.
Trifasciatas take longer, typically 2 inches, so it really depends on the
fish and how much color they have...or in Australian "colour" Just looking
at the word spelled that way sounds french :-)
