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 $1.00 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; shouid the value of the container be less than $1.00, we will add 
an extra fish to make up the difference. 
AIR FREIGHT SHIPMENTS 
During cold weather it is best to have tropical fish shipped by air freight. 
These shipments reach their destination in record time. On the average 
for each 500 miles the fish travel it only takes about 6 hours for delivery. 
Communicate with your local airport. Please note that there is a minimum 
rate of 25 pounds on air freight shipments, so if you order at least a dozen 
or more fish it will pay you to have your shipments made air freight during 
cold weather. 
EXPRESS SHIPMENTS DURING WINTER MONTHS 
If you wish shipment made by express we can use chemical heating pads 
and special shipping containers on which a $5.00 deposit is required. These 
cans can be returned for 3lc each express prepaid. 
Air freight shipments are safer during the winter time than express 
shipments on account of the rapid delivery. 
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 
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. 
ee all of the eggs hatch in 36 
ours.
