How We Ship Tropical Fish 
During the summer months tropical fish are shipped in plain 
metal cans. Add 35c to your order. If the weather is cold and 
during winter months we pack these cans especially protected 
against cold weather in a special insulated carton. During cold 
Weather add 25c extra for winter packing or a total of 60c for 
the shipping container. These containers are not returnable, 
bat as they are very light in weight, they reduce express 
charges. 
We also ship in special thermos shipping cans during cold 
weather. These cans are returnable and a $3.00 deposit required 
on these is refunded if the container is returned within seven 
ays. 
A rental charge of 25c per week is made against the deposit 
on special thermos cans held longer than one week after receipt 
of shipment. We guarantee live delivery, but do not assume 
responsibilities for losses after shipment is received in good 
order. If a shipment arrives in bad order and there should be 
any dead fish in the can, call the Railway Express Agency Claim 
Department same day as shipment is received. Get an inspec- 
tion report and mail] this to us. 
Be sure to take the water temperature during winter months 
and have this recorded on this inspection report.

build nests under floating leaves 
so that the nests are protected 
fromrain. These nests are formed 
through the use of mucus and 
tiny plant life such as algea. 
Some varieties do not bother 
about building any nests. The 
eggs just float on the water’s sur- 
face and are guarded by the male. 
Most all of the eggs hatch in 36 
hours.
