The Guppy Mother

Description:

We have several years of experience and knowledge with raising and keeping pond and tropical fish. These guppies have originated from stock from well-known suppliers of quality USA guppies. We aren't focused on producing large quantities and mass sales, just being a small well-run 20-plus tank 'garage hobby' that carries a few focused varieties of specialty lines. All of these guppies have been bred and raised in Oregon well water. They have been healthy and vigorous, and are well cared for daily. We are happy to now be able to offer some of the best of them for shipment.

Policy:

Please contact us and let us know your interests and we will do our best to accommodate you.

Photos are of the actual fish in stock and there may be slight color and pattern variations on individual fish. Younger and juvenile males may not have completely developed the larger fins and more vibrant colors of an older adult yet, but they only get better as they mature more. All fish shipped will be at least 1+" or more in length.

Shipping will be via USPS on Mondays and Tuesdays, possibly Wednesdays depending on location and shipping speed selected. Orders placed Tuesdays or after will ship out the following Monday/Tuesday (or Wednesday), unless prior arrangements are made. Please notify me when order is placed so that we can coordinate the best shipment date for you to receive your fish.

Shipments will be sent out with heat or gel packs as needed depending on temperatures, in an insulated box. Most fish will be bagged individually with oxygen. Actual shipping dates may be dependent on the current weather and temperature conditions, which may delay shipping out. Shipments will be packed in either an 8x8x8 or 12x12x9 USPS Priority Mail box; shipping charges will be figured higher for larger boxes and weights, or for Priority Express, and may vary depending on zip code. Approximate costs are noted - we can advise ahead of time on actual shipping charges. If multiple shipping boxes are needed, individual box shipping charges will apply. We will coordinate appropriate shipping times and sizes with you as necessary for the health of the fish and to keep shipping costs down.

Please have someone available to accept shipment when it arrives - fish must not be allowed to sit longer than necessary and all appropriate unboxing and acclimating must be followed. Let me know if there are any days or restrictions for delivery so we can discuss the best time to ship out. Shipping and arrival times will be sent to your email provided.

Live arrival guaranteed if fish are properly opened and handled immediately after receiving shipment. I will try to send an extra fish to cover any potential DOA. If you receive all the fish you paid for alive (with a potential extra for unlikely DOA), no refund will be given if only one fish is affected, and then only for those others that are affected. If any fish do arrive DOA, please send a minimum of 3 clear photos of all unopened bags and fish within 2 hours of opening the box, and attach and send a message with a detailed description of the issue. Refund or reshipment for DOA's will be sent if all appropriate measures have been met. Original shipping fees will most likely be non-refundable.
