Just do a search under 'endlers' and you'll find a few. There are normally more up for sale, but due to the cold weather it is more risky sending them, especially as some people haven't got heat packs to accompany them. I've sold a few lots of fry(successfully)in the past, so am happy to give you any advice if required....
 
i read that on aquabid it says its like 20 plus dollars jsut to ship a one dollar fish!!! thats crazy when u could go to a pet store and get them for 2 dollars
 
thats how it goes though, so if the shipping is 10 dollers then you need to buy prob 10 or more fish to make it feasible.

some one wanted me to post a £2 baby bristlenoes plec and the postage is about £7 so they paid £9 for a plec they could get in a store for about 3 or 4 pounds. But its their choice. di

I sell fish on ebay and have put my charges up to £9; you have to send fish next day delivery which costs £6-7, listing fees cost 50p - £1 depending on the fish and paypal fees are getting on for £1.50 so all in all you don't get any change out of £9. It is ridiculous, but you can fit 20 fish in the box maximum. If you want to buy in bulk then it becomes more reasonable as you can get 10kg parcels sent for £19 whereas a 2kg parcel costs £7 but you need to be able to accomodate them.
 
ya i just dont see why people would want to pay more for a stressed shipped fish for more money verses the lfs! crazy i donth think they do that here in the US!
 
You in the US. Think eBay dose not allow fish in the US. However try looking at aquabid.com

I don't think thats true. If you go to ebay, under Home and Garden, Pet Supplies, you will find live fish being sold. Some of the people selling the fish on ebay are from the U.S so how could someone not be allowed to buy them if they live in the country?

That is the way your lfs gets in fish that are not locally bred. Any chain lfs gets most all their fish shipped in, many times from eastern Asian fish farms.
