FS: Hypan, Vampire, & Panaque N WISC

[Jackster]

F1 Colombian "Big Gold Spot" Hypancistrus L201 1.5" $15 each


F1 "Vampire" Leporacanthicus galaxias L007 2" $25 each


F1 "Monte Durado" Hypancistrus L411 1.5" $18 each


F1 Rio Tocantins "Tiger" Panaque L002 2" $50 pair (only one pair available)


All these F1 catfish are superb quality and I will only bag the finest fish.
If anything doesn't meet my strict quality standards, then it doesn't go
in the box at all. I can ship anywhere in the USA and local pick-up is always
welcomed. I have other catfish available also, but mostly Ancistrus species
including wild L180, wild L213, F1 LDA08 proven pairs, F1 L183, TR L059,
and L144 Blue-eyed Albino. PM me if you're interested in anything and
I'll give you my phone number. All fish transactions will be finalized via
the phone to avoid any possible errors in communication. Thanks!

This is what's left and thanks to any buyers for their orders!

Ordered 4 x L201 from Jackster on Sunday. He had them mailed on Monday and at my door by noon on Tuesday. Packaging included heat pack and frequent email updates when they were shipped etc... Fish were in great shape and same quality as in photo. I wish I had purchased a few more! I would not hesitate to use this seller in the future.

[Jackster]

Well normally I need a couple days to purge fish before shipment but since I was already purging the tank your fish were in for another guy who never paid (imagine that) it was easy enough to give you next day service. Will you were probably the best buyer I've ever sold to with the fact that you called me, paid me, and closed the transaction all within about 10 minutes. Unfortunately many buyers just can't grasp that fish purchases are really that easy, as long as you follow the seller's policies. The policies I've developed over time are there mainly to insure the safe arrival of healthy fish and to protect my sanity. Hats off to Bengal as he gets the buyer of the year award!

[matti2uude]

I'd love some 411s. Do you ever come to Canada?

[racoll]

Did you breed all these yourself Jackster?

[Jackster]

No I didn't spawn these but I don't ship to New Zealand either.
I spawn mostly Ancistrus species but I did notice my wild L199 male has
had the female trapped in the cave for a couple days so I'm hoping for
some eggs soon. I deal with a select group of breeders and some of them
just don't have the time to sell fish in small quantities to hobbyists like
I do so I guess I got elected to handle that end of the market. Sometimes
it's a lot more hassle then it's worth (trust me) but then again when I get
emails like the one I got today, it seems much more fulfilling.

[racoll]

Its great to see so many tank bred plecos on the market now.

I just hope breeders are able to keep the varieties/species pure, and avoid inbreeding.

[Jackster]

I can tell you these are all "pure" species. I do not like hybrids, however,
I think we all have had some form of hybrid maybe an Albino LF?

Just received the L411 today. Nice packaging, fast delivery, and healthy fishes . Excellent communication and great person to deal with. Woot, glad I got it before it sold out .

[Jackster]

Thanks for your purchase and the quick payment as well.
I can't believe how fast the box made it to CA but I guess
that's a good thing. Another flawless transaction with a
great level of communication going both ways. Thanks!

[bsmith]

received my L183's (4) today as-well. They were packed professionally and shipped in the same manner too. He and I had been talking for at least a month about the deal and it has finally happened, I have my very own group! When I opened them up after receiving the box from the FEDEX guy the fish were only slightly pale. What would you expect from a catfish that had no light on it for almost 24 hours. After taking them home and beginning the acclimation process only 15 or so minutes passed before the fish looked as good IF NOT BETTER then any I have seen in pictures other people had posted up of their stock. Beautiful and black with that distinct "starry" patterning and beautiful white seam down the fins. Now after a long drip process they are in their new home and about to get some zucchini.

I will have some pics up hopefully but I believe a camera malfunction has renderd the early after release photos unusable, well see.

Jim thanks again, ill talk to you soon.

[Jackster]

Thanks much Brandon and to everyone who bought stuff this week.
The credit card was looking a little overdrawn but you guys at least
helped me put a dent in it.

[matti2uude]

Are you expecting to get any more L411s?

[young1nj]

I was asking about more 411's and jackster asked if i would prepay. I said no and he hasn't responded to PM's since. Good luck

[Jackster]

Listen up young1nj you sent me what 6 or 7 PM's? I answered them, except the last one.
If you don't want to prepay for L411 then why did you just send me another PM asking
if I was able to get more? BTW I didn't answer that last PM because I deleted it since you're
starting to annoy me with too many PMs. You mentioned previously that you were very
impatient about buying fish and I have learned not to sell to people who are in such a hurry.
Do you really think posting slander is going to convince me to sell you fish? Trust me it won't.
And it's pretty strange that the buyers who actually bought fish are completely satisfied.
And you say above that you told me no to advance payment so how do you explain this PM?

Hi

Actaully on 2nd thought I would pre pay for 411's. Let me know.
I check my account here more If im expecting mail.

Nate

I'm also going to say for the last time,
I CAN'T SHIP TO CANADA SO PLEASE DON'T ASK AGAIN!

I would be willing to ship to a location in the USA close to the Canadian border if a person
can find a friend or relative who would be willing to accept the package and that's the best
I can possibly do.

To all the others on the waiting list for L411, the plan is for the next batch to be shipped
early in the spring since they are currently barely an inch and the breeder will only ship
them when HE feels it's safe for the fish (minumum size of 1.5"). The private breeders
that I deal with are very wise and they work on their own time schedule.

8 Hypancistrus L201
8 Leporacanthicus galaxias L007
2" F1 L183 available after next week

[young1nj]

Hold on here. It sounds like your talking crap about me based on your delusional ideas

First thing

I sent you a total of 5 PMs because I wanted info on the fish I hoped to purchase. Not 6 or 7. Get your facts straight.

The last Pm I sent I checked in to see if you had any available for purchase yet as I assumed you were getting more in considering you asked me to pre pay.

second

I was not comfortable with sending money to you not knowing when the fish would be available from someone I barely know and who I have heard some bad things about. So yes I am inpatient with giving my money to you and waiting for fish when you didn't know if you could get more. It could easily be a scam!

You come off as a shady character. You may have people who are happy with your fish, but how many have you turned off because of your bad attitude, and communication. I know you have raised a red flag for me in buying fish from you.

[Jackster]

Face it you're just a kid who got caught in a lie. Be a man and admit that you posted
out of frustration and decided to use me as your scapegoat. Also you need to take
a good reading lesson. I can't possibly sell you fish that I don't have and anyway you
were added to my banned list several weeks ago and I guarantee you'll never buy
anything from me (or my group). Just curious, why don't you go get some Hypans
from Dale and Chris or maybe Zcliff? They are close to you and likely have the fish
you're looking for. Now if you don't want to deal with me and think I'm a scammer
then stay of my for sale post. Thank you.

[drpleco]

I can vouch for Jackster - he's definitely not a scammer. A little trigger-happy with the banned-list (I'm on it, lol ), but sells great fish and ships very well. Btw nice vampires, Jim.

[Jackster]

Andy, I was going to call you the other day but then I realized that I don't
have your phone number anymore. BTW I still have an overload of wild
male Bristlenose (misc. species) if you still need some tank cleaners.
Are your tanks all set up in Wausau? PM me your number or call me.

[leej24]

Jackster has great fish. He gives extras of other things when you pick up from his place. I've been there more than once and on every occasion he has given me something extra for stopping by.

P.S. I've been really busy with graduate school and plan on defending my thesis soon so I will get in touch with you when I get the chance.

[Jackster]

No worries, I still have a pair of L144 breeders for you.
Finishing school is a priority over buying fish.

Everything is sold except the pair of L002 and 4 L201. Thanks to all the buyers!
