So do I. :sad: Discus fry will be ready in a 2-3 weeks, GB rams slightly later. :smiley:

[joanstone]

What kind of discus? Any cories left?

[mmorris]

Hi Joan, lots of cories left! I have high-bodied cobalt discus that will be ready in a couple of weeks or so, and I have some turqs that should be ready shortly after that. I sell discus at around two inches, tail included, for $18 each, $16 each for 10 or more. Whereabouts in Vermont are you? It would be nice to meet up sometime. I've just been invited to speak to the Otter Valley Aquarium Society in Pittsford, but I don't have a date yet. I've also been invited to speak in northern Vermont for the tri-clubs - Montreal, Burlington and Otter Valley but I don't have a date for that engagement either. Hopefully one or the other isn't so far from you. Martha

[joanstone]

Ooh, I'm excited! I'm a member of that club (Otter Valley) and really look forward to meeting you! I'm just south of Rutland so Pittsford is 1/2 an hour from me. What are you going to talk about? We'll have to stay in touch-I'm definitely interested in some cories and discus.

[mmorris]

Well alright! A clubber! I'm on the board of directors of the PVAS and delegate to the NEC. I must have been absent the day they asked for volunteers. :( The presentation will be a basic introduction to discus keeping. I look forward to meeting you!

[discuspaul]

You're lucky Joan, to live close enough to Martha to meet her.
I'd sure like to..... some day!

[mmorris]

Hey Paul! I'm sure I can put you up if you and yours take a vacation out this way. :)



You can do my wc's

Good plan Martha, make him earn his keep. :) Glad to hear all your creatures are acclimating so well to the new water.

I need to send you a good PM one of these days.

Sounds like a plan. :)

[grindman620]

Cories still available??? :)

[mmorris]

I have a lot of cories, and probably will for some time because many are still too young to sell.

[grindman620]

Oh.....so you wouldn't be able to sell any for some time?

[mmorris]

No no, I have lots that are old enough to sell right now, and more that are still too young but will be available in the near future. I shouldn't run out any time soon.

[grindman620]

mmorris.....I am most likely interested in at least 6 cories and possibly the 10 shrimp too. Could you give me a shipping estimate to 48186?

Thanks!

[fuzzy188]

Do you still have any red cherry shrimp left?

[mmorris]

Lots. :)

[fuzzy188]

Yay!
I'm looking for about 6-10 RCS. Do you ship to Canada?

[mmorris]

Hi fuzzy, I haven't investigated shipping to Canada. I'll have to look into it.

[fuzzy188]

Ok, thanks. I will wait here for the news....

[Vince-Lenny]

Will juvenile discus eat the red cherry shrimps? If so, are the cherry shrimps a healthy treat for them?

[mmorris]

Fuzzy, the postal clerk was supposed to get back with me when she wasn't so busy and had time to look up the information but I guess she forgot. I'll ask her again. Vince, cherry shrimp are pretty small, and I think they would be a nice treat. At the same time, I have some shrimp living with some adults in my 125 gallon.

[CrazyAngels]

Martha, Thank you for the RCS they arrived very healthy and lively and are now in their own tank with some nice cories only, nothing that may want to snack on them.

not a good idea.. expensive snack

[mmorris]

Glad to hear! :)

[MPETERS]

Hi to All,

Well I just received my Sterbai cories and I am very impressed. They all look healthy and were very well packed. Thanks Martha.

It's a healthy 'treat' but probably not good as a staple diet. Crustaceans are typically low in HUFA (highly unsaturated fats). I don't know specifically what the nutrition profile of RCS is though, but I would imagine it's comparable to that of adult brine shrimp (the consensus is that they're void in nutrition, but that's not the full story).

[finchflex]

are there cherry shrimp still available?

[mmorris]

Hi Mike, glad to hear it, and many thanks! Finch, I have lots of cherry shrimp. :)

[herachio]

Any Cherry Shrimp left? if so can you give me a quote for six to zipcode 70364

Thanks

[mmorris]

Lots of shrimp left! Sorry, the minimum I sell is a dozen + for $10. Shipping a batch of shrimp within the United States will cost an additional $15.

[jimg]

I got some of these sterbai and shrimp from Martha yesterday and could not be happier. arrived nice, warm and very healthy.
Thank you Martha!

[mmorris]

Glad to hear it, Jim! Always nice to hear. :)

[Keith Perkins]

Someone's PM box is full Martha.

[mmorris]

LOL Darned thing. I empty it and it just fills back up again!

[Keith Perkins]

I love the bigger mailbox you get being a Homesteader. Only thing that saves me.

[mmorris]

How much bigger?

[Skip]

How much bigger?

300 messages not 50

[Second Hand Pat]

How much bigger?

Martha, you should consider it. Could use more gals in the neighborhood ;)

[Keith Perkins]

You could have the lot between us Martha, Pat and I would have your flanks. :)

[Second Hand Pat]

You could have the lot between us Martha, Pat and I would have your flanks. :)

...and there is a lake on the backside...wonderful views.

[mmorris]

LOL I'm worried 'bout who's 'cross the street!

[Second Hand Pat]

No worries Martha, I lease across the way as extra pasture for the horses and flyway for the crows.

[mmorris]

Sounds just like home - cows across the street, and good friends for neighbors. :)

[Keith Perkins]

And Ol Crow on the back bar, and old crows as neighbors, lol. That's not lots of luck, lol.

[Second Hand Pat]

Hey, who you calling an old crow lol

[Keith Perkins]

You'd prefer old bat?:confused:

[Keith Perkins]

Hahaha, I thought not.

[Second Hand Pat]

Old lady will have to do...but you are not much younger so...careful

[mmorris]

There's a back bar?!!!

[Keith Perkins]

I'm from Wisconsin, come on!

[Second Hand Pat]

http://www.thebackbar.com/ and it is in Janesville, WI

[Keith Perkins]

Been there, done that.

[xoxPandaLover104]

hey i'm in canada too. I made this account to ask about the shrimp. i would love to buy a dozen cherry red shrimp from you, but how much is shipping gonna cost? thanks

[mmorris]

Hi Panda, sorry, I don't have any shrimp to sell at the moment. If I remember correctly, shipping a medium usps box to canada was over $30.

[Melissa]

Hey Martha!

Shipping cost for 6 cories to 92037??

[mmorris]

Hi Melissa, shipping six cories to anywhere in the US (continental anyway) is $15. :)

[Melissa]

Hubby is buying me a group of 6 to be my clean up crew in my 125g! So excited to get them this week Martha!!

[Melissa]

My little guys came in kind of rough today due to some mishandling by USPS, but all fish are alive and doing well! Lol so darn cute!! And fat little things too LOL

[mmorris]

Glad to hear they arrived ok! It sounds like usps was using the package for a football. :(

[Keith Perkins]

Score!!!

[mmorris]

LOL

[Melissa]

Haha totally. Completely smashed on one side and it popped the bag.

The 3 Corydoras in it werent even submerged in water any longer I thought they were dead until I picked the bag up and they wiggled... It was seriously like a tsp of water they were all in. Once I got the box from the mail locker and saw it was wet, I sprinted back to the house literally saying OH NO OH NO OH O OH NO!! Lol I don't normally run that fast- only when fishy lives are at stake LOL must have been such a spectacle to the neighbors.

[ericatdallas]

I wonder if it's b/c cories can breathe air?

[PAR23]

Martha,

Your PM box is full.

[mmorris]

Oh dear!

[Larry Bugg]

Just got in 15 Sterbai from Martha. Martha's shipping and service were excellent. Sterbai arrived in excellent shape even though the USPS delayed shipment by one day.

Thanks Martha.

[mmorris]

That's always good news, Larry, and thanks for posting. :) I worry when delivery is delayed, particularly in the winter!

[Aquaholic]

Hello Matha,

Are you still in business?

If so, I am interested in purchasing 6 sterbai's and two dozen red cherry shrimp.

How much would that be?

How should we proceed with this order?

[mmorris]

Hi, yes, I guess I am still in business. :) I don't have any cherry shrimp at the moment, but I have cories. The cories are $40 for six plus $16 for shipping. I'll pm you some further details.
Martha

[Aquaholic]

Aww, I was hoping you had the cherries. I'd like to purchse both at once, to avoid double shipping cost (If I understand correctly).

Or, Will I be charged seperate shipping for cories and shrimp?

i.e.

6 Cories= $40
Ship Cories= $16
24 Cherries= $20
Ship Cherries (US)= $15

TOTAL= $91 ???

Please clarify shipping cost

[mmorris]

No, the cherries would have increased the shipping by a few dollars.

[Aquaholic]

Ok, sounds good...

When do you expect the Cherries to be ready for sale again?


~Aqh

[mmorris]

I hadn't really planned on doing the shrimp again. They do well at fish auctions, but there was little interest in them if I had to ship them.

[Aquaholic]

Hey Martha,

Nice packaging...
Sterbai came in yesterday and look great.

Thx again for the quality and speedy delivery.

[mmorris]

Glad to hear it! Thanks for letting me know. :)

[Aquaholic]

What kinda food do they like?
I'd like to try and feed them the food that they are already used to.

[mmorris]

They eat pretty much everything. I feed various pellets like Tetra bits and Sera, and various flake from Ken's. They also get beefheart mix and chopped frozen bloodworms.

[Aquaholic]

Sweet!
Thx

[tbone007]

Martha, do you still have cories available??? Let me know

[mmorris]

Hi Tim, the cories keep a comin'! :)

[tbone007]

Good to hear!!! I'll have to setup with you sometime to come pick some up.

[mmorris]

It will be great to see you! I'm still on summer break so let me know what works for you.

[tbone007]

Sounds great, I will let you know... Thanks

[BlackComet94]

I want some cories. Let me know when they're available.
Thanks

[mmorris]

I have some available now. Pm sent. :)

[BlackComet94]

I have some available now. Pm sent. :)

Replied, but your box is full :-(

[BlackComet94]

Replied to your pm

[mmorris]

Sigh. I wish there was an alarm to let us know when we were reaching maximum capacity. :(

[tbone007]

Martha is there anyway you could bring six to the PVAS. Meeting on Tuesday and I can get them from there???? Let me know

[mmorris]

Sorry Tim, term break is over and I've been given a Tuesday/Thursday evening course. This is why I didn't run for re-election on the board of directors. Are you going to Tim's for the NECA meeting this Saturday?

[Aquaholic]

Hey Martha,

The Sterbai Cories are still thriving... Thx so much for your High-Quality supply, One year ago!

I'm ready for some cherry shrimp now... Did you get back into breeding Cherries?

Please say YES!! :0)

[mmorris]

LOL Sorry, no. I just don't have the time and space for discus...and cherries. Thanks for the update!

[flutterbug]

I love Red Cherries, I would have bought some while I was there if you still had them! :)

[mmorris]

Sorry, I'm not keeping them any more. Too many (not enough?) discus!
