Blue Snakeskin Fry, Southern Oregon, P/U or shipping available

[RogueDiscus]

Hi Folks,
I'm not a sponsor, but I've been around here a while as a hobbyist. I haven't offered fry for sale in a while, but you can check out my history.

I have a 7+" HB Snakeskin that a got from Kenny 5(?) years ago. I'm trying to breed him and get his big size and shape in some fry. He's on his second mate and doing great. She's a nice, round 9-bar blue I bought from Kenny also. Their fry's good shape has already been commented on. I have this group of about 20 from early August that are about 1.5-1.75" now. I'd prefer to grow them out more, but I've got more coming. They're eating BBS, Al's FDBW, and Hikari Discus Bio-Gold.

I can ship, but it always costs at least $100+. I'm in southern Oregon and will travel a ways to deliver, transport negotiated.

$15 each. If you're interested, PM me and we can discuss transportation.

I'm including a couple pics, plus a link to a related thread.
Thanks

Steve

Thanks for the encouragement! I'm really trying to raise some high-quality fish on a small scale. Not much of a discus community in my area, which is why I'm willing to drive to find good homes. I've got a couple LFS interested, but I'd rather sell them here. If they don't sell, I'll keep growing them out as long as I have space. :)

I'm up in Portland, unfortunately I didn't know about this a couple months ago! Beautiful parents and juvis :)

[RogueDiscus]

I travel to Eugene regularly, and Portland wouldn't be that much bigger a deal. We need to develop the Oregon location thread!

[RogueDiscus]

Just bumping this. If you're in Oregon or northern California, I'm willing to drive a ways to find good homes.

Very nice. Wish you were closer (Gilroy, CA).

[RogueDiscus]

Thanks for looking. I'll put you on my map. There's more interest in your area and might be worth a trip sometime.
Steve

[Captcomm]

Put me down as interested, I wish more people that are in norcal will come out the woodwork so we can get some of those snakeskin.

[Khanhtran]

I'm up in Portland and I'm willing meet you half way for a couple of them.

I'm up in Portland and I'm willing meet you half way for a couple of them.

Thanks for your interest. I think I'll try to plan a trip within the next month and will be in touch.

[RogueDiscus]

The fry are from a pair of snakeskin parents, but the fry are a mix of snakeskins and turqs and who knows. I've sold most of the snakes from my oldest batch but still have mostly turqs left. I have two other batches at about 1 and 2 months (quarters) which I should be ready to start selling in about a month, if you're just interested in snakeskins.

[RogueDiscus]

Today's look.

[Khanhtran]

Look awesome. I'm ready when you are:) where you live Steve ? I don't mind the drive if it not too far

[RogueDiscus]

My next batch is now the size and look of the fry in the earlier pics. Willing to make a good deal for shipping groups of about 10. For anyone in the area, I'm planning a trip north to at least Eugene the weekend of December 3rd and bringing these fry. PM me if you are interested in meeting up. If there is enough interest, I might be willing to go as far as Portland.

[Duskfire Discus]

I'm interested in a group of 10 of the smaller ones to grow up, I'm over in Spokane near you so shipping wouldn't be killer. Let me know a price!

[RogueDiscus]

Here's a couple recent pics of my current batch, separated into snakes and turqs, and one pic of some I kept from the batch before. They're about a month older and around 3". They're mixed in with some of my others.

Those in the current batch are about 2+ inches. I've got another group of over 150 about a month behind them at about 1". I can ship groups of 10 to most places in the country for $250, shipping included.

[William Palumbo]

Very nice Discus. All I see is consistent great shape. A good deal too! Nice to see hobbyist raising "quality" fish in smaller batches than just going for "quantity" All the best with the sale...Bill

[Leland F.]

Just received 12 of the fry, although they were held over night and took 2 days to get here in cold weather, they all survived due to proper bagging and packing. They look great, here's a picture of a few. I've temporarily got them in with some red melons and rufflesia's. They'll be moved into a 75 by themselves this weekend.104741104742
Sorry the second pic is sideways.

Holiday Special? I've still got 40 of these snakeskin fry at about 2". Groups of 10 for $225, shipping included. If you're close to Oregon and I can get you a better shipping price, I'll pass it on and go lower.

I have a tank of 12 of these little Gems from Steve, I just received them 2 days ago and they are doing great. Pics coming when they settle in.. but I will give you a clue..

these were from the batch before this current one.:)


Very very nice quality and you'd be a fool to pass this up, 10 juveniles with shipping for $225.00 Thats the deal of the century here, IMO.

[l24kers]

Hello Steve. Are these still available? 10 for $225 shipped to Ohio?

[RogueDiscus]

Hello Steve. Are these still available? 10 for $225 shipped to Ohio?

Yes, still available and that's the deal. PM a zip code if interested.

[Leland F.]

Here's a link to the 12 I got from Steve, as well as some other fish I have growing out.https://youtu.be/fL5Ooh964vQ Steve gave me a mix of the juveniles, half blue turq, and half blue snakeskin's. I've separated them for now. I'm excited to see how they grow out! Al is right about this being a great deal. $10 per fish is dirt cheap for such quality fish.

Leland

[l24kers]

Hey Steve. I sent payment last night, just making sure you got it. Thanks.

[szkumar]

[zachrabbit15]

Hello very interested in 10 to grow out. Can you ship to Seattle?

[l24kers]

Just received my discus! Beautiful and bigger than I thought. It got delayed a day but with Steve's packaging it could definitely have gone longer. Great service, fast response. Video coming soon. Have the lights off for now. THANKS STEVE!

[Larry208]

A huge shout out for Steve and his discus. :thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup They arrived in great shape and health, even after being delayed by for a day. I will post pictures of the discus as soon as they settle down a bit. Thank you Steve for the beautiful Discus.

[RogueDiscus]

These guys are gone for now so I'm shutting down this thread. The parents are looking active so I may have more in a few months. Thanks for all the interest and encouragement.
