Confirm the recipient can house adults
Ask about tank size, social group, water and existing fish. A juvenile’s current size is not its permanent requirement.
Share accurate details
Provide species or best identification, strain, approximate age, sex when reliable, diet, adult size, known parentage and health history.
Do not move sick fish
Pause distribution when a group shows unexplained illness or mortality. Quarantine and diagnosis come first.
Package and transport appropriately
Use suitable bags or containers, stable temperature and short travel time. Commercial shipping rules and carrier policies may apply.
Keep a fallback home
Never breed on the assumption that a store or buyer must accept the offspring.
