OUR GUARANTEE: WE GUARANTEE LIVE DELIVERY OF ALL GOLDFISH. We will replace any that die in shipping providing 
we are notified immediately after their arrival. However, we can make replacements only when a Bad Order Report is included from your 
local express office. PLEASE NOTE: If only one or two fish die during shipping, please do not ask for replacements! We always give a few extra 
fish with every order. 
CAUTION: Do not put fish in new cement pool until pool has been filled and drained two times. Alkali from cement might kill fish. 
SPAWNING: Grow baby goldfish in your pool! Watching the baby fish grow is highly fascinating. Order fish early if you wish them to spawn 
in your pool. Be sure to include either (1) The oxygenating plant Marestail or (2) The floating plant Water Hyacinth for the fish to lay their 
eggs on. We especially recommend Marestail for fish spawn especially well in it and its bright, green, lacy foliage adds tremendously to the pool. 
Order both, preferably. 
BREEDERS: Only fish 3 to 6 inches or larger can be classified as breeders. We have Giant Goldfish 10-12 inches in length at $5.00 and 
$6.00 per pair. Supply Limited.
