I think I can't add the order for you. I do not want the whole process to be delayed further by ammending the orders. Can you hold bck till the next round when we start to order again?
Sorry Eric.
Jesper, if the breeder can collect only one bag of their eggs, I can let you have the bag of Aphyosemion rectogoense 'PEG 95-16' if you want them. Like I said earlier, other than the Blue Gularis eggs, I'm flexible. I want the Blue Gularis because I want to keep them in my main tank. I need some big killies in there and they don't come bigger than the Blue Gularis.its ok...I will just go for Aphy. australe 'BSWG 97-24' first...thanks a lot

Au, Ok with me the next round. Thanks.

I've just finalised and sent the payment across to David. I'll update you guys on the arrival date.
As for collecting the eggs, I need a favour from timebomb.
Hi Kwek Leong, can I pass you the eggs and get them to collect from you? It'll be easier for alot of them as there is a MRT station just beside your place.
As for payment, I'll collect from you guys later when the final shipping cost is establish.(When the parcel is sent to Fedex for sending)
So logon and keep a lookout on the date of arrival of the eggs!
Note to Jesper: Please PM me your contact number so I can get in touch with you when the eggs arrived.
Au SL
That's not a problem, Au. Just bring them all to my house when the eggs arrive.
Guys, we have to move fast from now on. The eggs will be here soon and if you are one of those who ordered, please log on at least once a day to check the posts in this thread. I hope everyone can turn up at the same time to collect their eggs. It will be some sort of a mini-gathering.

A friendly reminder to those who ordered non-annuals... please ensure that you've prepared or can get 'first foods' for young frys. It's pathetic to have eggs survive shipping, only to be lost through lack of preparation.
Good luck guys and gals, and I look forward to meeting you all.
I'm back & keeping 'em fingers wet,

Just to keep you posted...
I already made the payment to David. There will be a slight delay on the shipping according to him. He'll drop me a mail when he send the parcel out. By then, I'll be able to know the exact shipping cost. Get you money ready :wink: Errrr I mean get you raising trays ready
Those who have ordered do logon and check for the latest updates....
Au SL
Au, it just occured to me that since you're quite active with online transactions overseas, would you have preferred to receive payment in US Funds for the egg purchase?
I'm ok with PayPal, should you need US$ in your account. Just a thought but let me know anyway.
1. Funds - checkedGet you money ready :wink: Errrr I mean get you raising trays ready
2. Infusoria - checked
3. Microworms - checked
4. Aged water - checked
5. Hatching trays - checked
6. Reality check ... urm... not yet!

Ronwill,
I'll perfer you guys pay me in Sing$ as through Paypal, I'll be charged with 5% if you guys pay via Cards.
Au SL
Ah... yes... I forgot about that!
I've mostly been a buyer online and paying via PayPal. Except for sellers in the UK, those from USA have never mentioned the charge. Could it be that they absorbed it?
Anyway, it isn't a big deal... but my anticipation in receiving the eggs is killing me!

Hi all,
I wish that if the eggs don’t hatch, you will not kick a big fuss over it. Au is doing us a favor by coordinating the orders.
I just received 5 species of non annuals eggs last week from 3 friends from US and non hatch. This is the number 9 tries for non annuals. Yes I am disappointed but not discouraged. I will continue to try!!
I wish you guys LUCK!!!
Regards,
nope..not at all...i am given a chance to try hatching those eggs... been very thankful to all of you...hope you guys will be able to hatch them..good luck!
Regards

eggs are fertile and stable for shipping. It is warming up the weather man
says the end of this week and first of next week, it has been too cold to ship
this week, our low temps have been 30 F - 19 F degreees!!!

Au, I'm glad we're working with a conscientious seller who bothers with sending viable eggs and not taking risks. Kudos David, it makes my waiting worthwhile.
But while I'm waiting and twiddling my grubby fingers, itching to land 'em on the eggs, perhaps David can advise me on the incubation and precautions, when dealing with 'difficult-level' fishes like my pending Terranatos dolichopterus 'V96/7'and Rivulus xiphidius 'PK 15'.
The Net is a treasure trove of information but my research on these two species came up a little short on really good information. I'd hate to lose these eggs due to my ignorance and/or lack of adequate preparation.
I'm back & keeping 'em fingers wet,
Ronnie Lee
I've tried on the Terranatos and the incubation period is 6 months. When eyeup I just wet them. After a day, I'll dry the peat and wet it again in 2 weeks time. The development of the eggs varies. Even after 6 months, some eggs still don't show signs of development! That's my experience on them. They require higher temperature during the incubation period. Our temperature here suits them well.
As for Rivulus, I'll forced hatched them. Even when the eggs are fully developed, the fry just refuse to hatch. When wetting the peat, I'll cover the container for 6 hrs to force hatch them.
Hope that this helps.
Au SL
duh... looks like it's gonna be a loooooooooong wait before I see any frys!
I used to inject CO2 into my fruit fly culture to knock 'em bugs outAs for Rivulus, I'll forced hatched them. Even when the eggs are fully developed, the fry just refuse to hatch. When wetting the peat, I'll cover the container for 6 hrs to force hatch them.. Wonder if such injection will work in forced hatching.
It won't help with the waiting but it's comforting to have someone to exchange notes with!Hope that this helps.

Last call for early collection of MWCs... if you think you need 'em, get 'em!
Next 'distribution' will have to wait till our gathering... and I'm looking forward to meeting all of you.

Yahooo... me anxious, nervous, hmmm dunno how to describe ....
If I have a dollar & you have a dollar & we swap, neither is better off. BUT if I have an idea & you have an idea & we swap we are both richer
There's nothing to be nervous about if you get yourself prepared. Just make sure you have your money ready also or else Au will start getting nervous too
