December Germany Group Buy


Basically the same price and term from the September group buy. Many people missed that one and asked for another one, so please put in your order early.

The prices are all for pre-order (and deposit paid), after they are landed, price will be 20% more. I'm usually pretty flexible with my pricing but for these I'll be firm, so it's fair to people who pre-order.

A few notes from the previous order:
- The colour of the OEBT is AMAZING. I kept some for myself, you can come to see them and I'm sure you'll be pulling out your pocket.

- Almost everyone who ordered pintos got at least 1 spotted head pinto, which if ordered separately will be $350ea.

- Size-wise, in the last order, OEBT are basically breeding size or very close to. Most shrimps were 1.2cm+.

- Parameters-wise,
Taiwan bee, crystal, pintos : TDS 160, PH 6.2, GH5-6.
Red Tiger and Black Tiger : TDS 250, PH 6.5, GH 8-9.





Notes and Rules:
- These shrimps are from a famous German breeder Michael Nadal.

- All shrimps are 1.2+cm unless otherwise specified. I'm told most of them will be bigger than 1.2 and should at the young adult size.

- Male/Female mixed. Do not ask for male/female ratio, I will be fair. If I can't get you at least 30% female, the transaction is cancelled. (I am told we'll get mixed male/female, but I can't guarantee 50% ratio. You get same ratio of female as in the entire shipment)

- All pre-orders require a 20% deposit, balance to be paid in full when picking up the shrimps. You'll get 100% refund if for any reason your ordered shrimps don't arrive (out of stock or other reasons).

- Preferred payment method is email transfer (no fee from me), or PayPal (3% fee to be added).

- Tentative pickup date is before Christmas, if you can't pick up (or arrange a shipping date) between  (December 14-31, please arrange alternative pickup/shipping date BEFORE placing an order.

- Shipping can be arranged, as long as I agree to ship to you, it's 100% DOA (excluding the shipping cost). Exception applies and I will communicate with you before your order is finalized.

- I reserve the right to deny purchase due to shipping difficulty and/or any other reason making the transaction difficult.

 - I reserve the right to change the pickup date. If you can't make it to the new pickup date, all deposit will be refunded.

- All order or inquiries to be directed to randy_leiATyahoo.ca (replace AT with @ of course)



Important Dates:
- I'm taking orders until Sunday, December 7.
- Tentative pickup dates should be after December 21.
