Kyle, et all
Karl is right, while I've got about 1/2 my species via mail...it
doesn't
count the other 20+ attempts that failed or nearly so...I've sold and
received eggs on Aquabid, so God only knows how many duds I sold...
Personally, I've sent out eggs to 3-4 people "mid-winter"...I'm not
sure
what the results were, but I treated them like fish: heat pack,
clean water,
air and a insulated package...I use that method because eggs I've
received
in that manner have a much higher hatch 5 than the ole peat in an
envelope
thing
Thing is, the mailing environment isn't always the
culprit...obviously our
skills vary at shipping prowess, and that "universally" applied
shipping
method of sticking eggs in peat, and thence into an envelop is IMHO
guaranteed to yield poor or at best "so so" results for many
aphyosemions at
least, esp. over long distances....
I guess perhaps my stint in killies isn't long enough to have
credibility to
criticize this method or that, all I know is aphy eggs in peat and
thence in
an envelop might be a inexpensive/easy shipping method, but IMHO is
certainly a subpar method for certain species (especially using
"fresh"
eggs)
....whomever keeps advocating this method outta put a strong
disclaimer on
it at least...

Dont deal in eggs. Though the mail it is a crap shoot.Un less you
need the
money & not any fish friends. Mail fish if they make it alive your
obligation is done.I dont mail eggs if i can hand deliver them
thats ok. I'm
speaking with almost 40 years of experience

Maybe I can start a conversation here. What's the best way to ship
eggs?
I'm not having very good luck with Aquabid orders for eggs (and
there's
not a lot available right now through the AKA). My own eggs do
fine. Since
I want to make eggs available when the weather warms up, I'm
curious about
two things:
1) Is wet peat the best way to send? It sure hasn't been the best
way to
receive them in my experience.
2) Can I wait until I see some real development before I ship mine
(21 day
incubation types)? Like @ 7 to 10 days.
Ironically, my best results have been supplied by a breeder in
Germany -
not by domestic breeders. He uses wet (though fibrous) peat also,
but my
hatches are much better through him despite the journey. I was
thinking of
vials of water with eggs placed in polyester yarn. Much easier to
find and
see what you acually got from the start. Any suggestions?
Kyle
