I have set up an opportunity through my business for the CCA in November that will include the opportunity to order special order fish from Laif Damson's Old World Exotic fish farm at the same time. Rules for the Group buy are:
To Order Fish through this group order:
Check out the fish I have in stock or available by special order on my Web site at www.cichlidsarespecial.com
Special Order fish for this Group should show up on my web site around October 22, 2011 on my Special Orders Page.
Choose the fish you want, and send me an email at cichlidsarespecial@comcast.net requesting these fish. Emails will be processed in the order they are received and, therefore, all fish are subject to prior sales.
All Special Order fish (Fish ordered from Laif's Farm)must be per-paid by Pay Pal prior to the order dead Line.
The dead line for this order will be established when the Special Order List is available around October 22, 2011. The order dead line will likely be somewhere around October 4, 2011 depending on Old World's shipping schedule.
Fish will be bagged using my normal bagging procedures (Three Unsexed Juveniles, or One Male, or Two Females per double bag).
Each order will be treated as an individual order at Group pricing. All fish bags will be labeled with the fish name and the first initial of the buyer’s last name, or middle initial or other means will be used to identify individual orders should three or more people with the same first and last names occur in the same group order.
I will delivery your order to the November CCA meeting saving you shipping.
Any fish ordered from my in stock inventory can be paid by cash when picked up at the Club meeting. These fish can be held up to 30 days in advance of delivery and can be ordered up 8:00 p.m. of the Wednesday prior to a CCA meeting. If you fail to pick up your fish order from my in stock inventory at the CCA meeting prior to the start of the CCA Auction, your fish will be placed back into my stock for sale, and you will be required to pay in advance for all future fish purchases by Pay Pal from Cichlids Are Special, including Group Orders.
Any Prepaid fish (Special Order Fish) not pick up at the time of the CCA meeting prior to the start of the CCA Auction become property of the CCA and will be auctioned as a donation to the club. There will be no refunds on fish not picked up properly at a CCA Meeting.
The cost for any prepaid fish that is sold out and does not come in from the farm, or that dies in transit will be refunded through Pay Pal.
Fish from a fish farm source will normally have a week or so buying period and a deadline of up to a week or so prior to a meeting. Once the order deadline passes, farm fish cannot be added to a group order.
Use caution on Farm Fish. Most farm fish arrive healthy; however, a few sometimes develop problems, practically ICH, from the stress of shipping and or cooler temperatures. I advise separating special order farm fish for 7 to 10 days for observation to be sure they do not contract any contagious illness before putting them in your tank. Rid-EX Prevent ICH is a good product to use on any new Cichlid fish as a precaution, no matter where you buy it from. Since a group order's farm fish will only arrive until a day or two prior to a meeting, I cannot hold them and prevent treat a large number of group order fish for a week or more like I normally do with my incoming stock
Laif's Fish Farm sells 1.5" Fish Unsexed in 20-24 packs. Larger farm 3+" fish are usually sold in groups of four unsexed (Most times 50=50) or groups of 4 males. Some larger fish are sold as males only, or in groups of three (either two males and one female, or two females and one male) Otherwise guaranteed sexed fish have a 30% wholesale price surcharge. Most Lake Tanganyika fish are not subject to box orders, but to get colonies of guaranteed sexed fish, you need to pay the 30% wholesale price surcharge plus my mark up on each fish. This farm also carries a number of Wild Caught fish and some harder to find fish. Minimum wholesale order is $750. Sadly, large minimum makes it hard for me to order from this farm very often. This farm is best for Wild Caught fish, rare fish, and Lake Tanganyika fish; but also carries a large amount of Lake Malawi Cichlids, a few Victorians, a limited supply of New World Cichlids, and some Catfish. Located in extreme southern FL and they are a good source for fish year round.
Discounts:
All fish purchased through a Fish Club Group Order will be sold at my normal discount club rates rather than at my regular price rates.
CCA members, please note, due to limited shipping boxes, you will need to bring you own container to transport your fish home from a CCA Meeting.
If you have any questions or concerns about this group order, please contact me through my business email: cichlidsarespecial@comcast.net
Thank you,
Jay
