Prices in bold are in USD. Those highlighted in red are species with limited number of bags. Shipping costs are included. There is a paypal charge of 4%, however if the order is large enough it will be waived by the seller.

According to the seller, for those interested, there are a limited number of eggs available from Simpsonichthys boitonei Brasilia. I am not sure of the price as he did not state it in the email.

Poh San, very sorry but there's no adornatus this time round.

For those who intend to order, please state your interest via this thread. Orders close on Friday, 23 Sept. 05.

Order List:

Simp. carlettoi Guanambi x 1 bag
Notho. eggersi Bagamoyo TZL 52/01 x 1 bag

May i know who is the seller? Looking at the species collection, most likely i will pass this round.

Thanks for offering. I have 16 species coming in soon. So.........

Jianyang,

Thank you for taking time and effort organising the mass order.

May i know who is the seller? Looking at the species collection, most likely i will pass this round.

European breeder? Looking at the species, I (too)could guess who the supplier is.

I guess I am too incompetent to handle eggs coming from such long distance. This round please leave me out.

Thanks Jianyang

Hi Jianyang,

Get me a bag of Nothobranchius eggersi - Bagamoyo TZL 52/01 - 40 eggs - 15 - 20

[stormhawk]

Kee Hoe, Selena, its alright. I will go ahead with the order by myself and for those interested.

Au, thanks I will add you to the list accordingly.

For now the order list is as follows:

Simp. carlettoi Guanambi x 1 bag
Notho. eggersi Bagamoyo TZL 52-01 x 1 bag

[stormhawk]

I guess I am too incompetent to handle eggs coming from such long distance.

Nobody is too incompetent or competent to handle eggs that come from other countries. It is almost always a matter of luck. I have failed many times and sometimes the number of failures almost always beats the number of successes. However, that only means I should try again.

[keehoe]

JianYang, I guess what Selena meant is the egg behave erratically after a long journey. It is hard for for newbie like myself to handle them correctly.

Time is the most important resource that i need to study and take good care of the egg. Thats is what i don't have as i could be receiving these 16 species anytime from now till next year.

Unless there are new species that drive me out of control again....

[timebomb]

Jianyang,

Is the Simpsonichthys reticulatus already well-established in Singapore? If not, please put my name down for a bag of eggs. Thank you.

[stormhawk]

Its currently not yet established. I know of only one person who has raised them to adults and they are already gone I think. I have eggs with me that are beginning to eye up. Note however that the fry are just as small as Simp. costai fry. Sex ratio for this species tends to be male-heavy.

[PohSan]

Hi JY,

It's okay. BTW, I will go for a bag of

Simpsonichthys costai - Formoso do Araguaia B2003 - 25 eggs


Sorry JY, can I change my order to one bag of
Leptolebias aureoguttatus - Iguape 01/05 - 30 eggs ??

Sorry


Regards,
Ong Poh San

[stormhawk]

Its okay, there's still time to change the orders.

List edited as per your request.

[menschenjaeger]

I'm in the US, but I've ordered from this guy and I can vouch for his S. constanciae BSJs. They ship fairly well. I have a dozen growing out and a bunch of eggs waiting for the second wetting.

[keehoe]

JianYang, please help me check the price of Boitonei and estimated egg count. Would like to order this if no one else ordering and it is not too expensive. Thanks.

[RonWill]

Looks like the same group of people spending money while a larger group sits on the fence, waiting for handouts. I've seen better response for egg orders conducted privately and what I see here is, for lack of a better word, pathetic.

Is there no one else?

[stormhawk]

Order closed. Kee Hoe, I've sent the enquiry to the seller about the boitonei along with the order list. I will let you know once I get a reply from him.

[stormhawk]

Order confirmation received. For those who took part, please contact Ronnie for payment details since he will be sending the payment on everyone's behalf first.

[stormhawk]

Latest update:

Very sorry guys for the late update. Ron has yet to send payment on everyone's behalf (if I'm not wrong) and part of the order list has changed due to some circumstances beyond my personal control. Eggs ordered previously by everyone are guaranteed for as long as payment is received soon. I have sent Ron a final reminder via email regarding this issue and it is up to him to remember to send the payment soon.

Winter is heading in soon for Europe and I fear for the safety of the eggs that you fellas have ordered if this issue drags on any longer.

[stormhawk]

To add to Ron's earlier lament:

Is There No One Else?

Indeed there has been regrettably zero involvement from the newbies as far as orders are concerned. With the exception of some individuals who have been doing their own orders on a personal basis, we have the usual folks who are plonking their money down.

There have been several mass orders held over the forum over the past two years and still very little response from the newbies. Since the orders are shrinking, I will not organise any further mass orders via the forum unless the situation gets better. Others can feel free to do so. Nobody's gonna stop you. Its about time someone else took over.

[RonWill]

To all concerned,

The order from France arrived yesterday. I'll be bringing the eggs down to Eco Culture tomorrow evening and those who wish to collect there can do so, unless otherwise arranged.

Those picking up from my place on Saturday, SMS me.

Good luck and bountiful 'harvest'.

[PohSan]

Hi Ronnie,

Please kindly advise on the payment of my order. Thanks.

Regards,
Ong Poh San
