Hello Gang:I have sent K. marmoratus eggs to Israel, Japan, Argentina, UK and all over USA... always in water and no antifungal agent. In my case the trick is to ship them very early after collecting them, otherwise they hatch in transit which has happened to me too. I've read at elkiliclub.org about shipping eggs between two makeup remover pads. Need to try that in the future. I tend to agree about the buying of fish instead of eggs... but many times the fellows in Europe and South America have very interesting species which many times they are willing to trade or sell.

"Shipping in water results in hatched, dead fry." Not always. I don't order eggs often, but I recall a shipment of 2 species of Epi. eggs from Mogens Juhl a decade ago. They came from Denmark and when they arrived there was so much acriflavine/methylene blue in the water (they were in water, in small vials) that the eggs were colored bright blue/green themselves. I thought they'd never hatch. But darn if they didn't. 100%hatch.Edd Kray
