Wow, you must have deep pockets... Worried about DOAs in what many consider a 'pest'.

I don't, but many do... I would consider buying something from sweet aquatics. With any purchase, they'll give you as many as you want. (1 per gallon would be the maximum... They do reproduce.)

I got mine priority from Sweets and they got here fine....
Did they fill the bag to the top with water? Can't imagine why they died unless they just put too many per bag.

I have quite a few and would be happy to send some to you. I sent some to dfbiggs in a regular priority envelope and they went from CA to NV no problem. Of course, CA to CT is much further but MTS are pretty tough little buggers. Let me know as I'm heading out on Tuesday to ship some RCS to another member here. Seems I'm starting my own little enterprise here, lol.

Thanks to Kym I have a great collection of MTS...I love them so much I am thinking of just making an MTS tank..

I sure hope you aren't mailing out any beetles to any members on here..;-)

The only beetles I would send would be to you! LOL.

Lainey- You're in the UK but I'd be happy to send you some. I'd have to mark the package as "Home Decorations" since I'm sure it's illegal for me to ship something like that out of the country. I'm sorry about your filter. What the heck happened??
