How We Ship Tropical Fish 
All tropical fish are best shipped in insulated containers the year round. 
They thrive best at a temperature between 65 and 80 degrees F. During cold 
weather, more insulation is used to keep the water warm. During hot weather, 
insulation is necessary to keep the water from becoming too hot, but less 
insulation is required during the summer months. We supply these insulated 
(not returnable) shipping containers for 75c each, and this amount should be 
added to your order for tropical fish. If the order is small and for smaller 
fish, we pack them as light as possible in a smaller container in order to save 
expressage; should the value of the container be less than 75c, we will add 
an extra fish to make up the difference. 
Extra heavy insulated shipping containers are used during severe cold 
weather; also chemical heating pads. If you wish us to use these special 
containers during the winter months, simply add a $3.00 deposit to your 
order. We refund the deposit after this container is returned to us, 3lc 
express prepaid from anywhere in the U.S.A. We make a rental charge of 
25c per week if you hold the container and fail to return same within one 
week after receipt of shipment. Please return these special shipping containers 
promptly. Thank you! 
We do not assume responsibility for any losses after you give the express 
agency a clear receipt. In case the shipment has been damaged or if there 
are any dead fish in the can, call the claim department. Get an inspection 
report; mail it to us with order number of shipment, which you will find on 
the address label. Be sure to get a detailed report covering damage. The 
carriers are liable for any damage to shipments and you can file your own 
claim by simply making out a bill of this loss and attach bad-order report 
to this bill and mail to your local claim department. 
Labyrinth Fish 
These Fish Build Bubble Nests 
All Labyrinth Fish listed here 
are native in Southern Asia, such 
as India, South China, Island of 
the Burneo. All of these varieties 
build nests under floating leaves 
so that the nests are protected 
tromrain. 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.
