Re: [Killietalk] How do I ship Rivulus eggs overseas??

["Roberto Cazzulani" <roberto_cazzulani at tin.it>]

I live in Italy
Far away from USA more than Brazil.
I sent some non annuals species to your country with good results seems. The
specie was Pachyp. playfairii
Simply I take a petri dish and put a layer of peat on the bottom. the peat
was wet but not dripping I distribute the eggs above the peat then I cover
everything with a damp (again not dripping) filter media.
The petri dish was tightly closed.
This method works fine and the eggs was fine at the arrival.

Take care
Roberto
