When a fish is listed as an attempted pair, it means we will do our best to attempt to select a male and female fish. Fish listed as “attempted pair” are not a breeding pair. Any fish listed as an “attempted pair” does not guarantee that you will receive a male and female but we always do our absolute best to try and select a male and female. If a fish is listed as an “attempted pair” or “pair”  the price listed is for the two fish. If you order 2, you will receive 4 fish, if you order 3 you will receive 6 fish, etc. When fish are marked as “unsexed” that means they are generally too small or difficult to sex to reliably provide sexing requests; Or that particular fish doesn’t require a specific ratio. Regardless of requests, if we are able to attempt sexing the fish we will always attempt to provide a healthy ratio.  Examples of fish we are regularly unable to sex: African cichlids under 3”, small tetras, and plecos.
