Link2Hell Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 BFJ 3cm is fine for most cichlid fry but it all comes down to how bad you want them and how they are packed cost wise you get more for your freight dollar at 3cm than you do at 5cm Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petshopdude Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 i find at that size they stress pretty easy get white spot but if you are prepared for it (tank well cycled and medicating on hand) and the price is right i would frieght, just make sure sometimes 3cm is the biggest, not the smallest 2cm fish should never be sold unless there neons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrod Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 At 3cm they are pretty tough. I have had heaps of fish shipped interstate at 3cm. Your local fish shop would get some of their shipments interstate also. Just quarantine them well and there should be no problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killiguy Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Small fish are actually fairly tough.Ive received killifish and rainbows at 1 cm with no hassles sent through the mail(no so gentle).Once they are over a couple of months they should actually do better than large fish; not producing as much waste and not as being as susceptible to percussive shock (being chucked around) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
