This listing is for a bag of 15-20 scuds.
Scuds are a very popular live food for Bettas, dwarf cichlids, pea puffers, as well as many other fish. They are very similar to shrimp, and will help clean the tank by eating leftover food. They are scavengers so harmless to other fish.
They can however be quite difficult to remove from a tank if there isn't anything that will eat them in the tank, and although they won't hurt shrimp and snails, they will compete with them for their food so can be seen as pests in a shrimp only tank. This isn't much of an issue in a tank with fish that will eat them however and can be a great source of extra food for them.
Postage costs
All small products, plant or snail orders are $3.99 flat postage. Large products, plant or snail orders are $10.99 tracked postage.
Express is a flat $13.99 no matter the order size other than a few specific giant items (like big tanks).
Any larger tanks are a flat $39 postage. We price the tanks at the Pickup price, and postage always costs us more than $50 for them, so we have to charge a bit extra.
Live Goods and Postage
All live goods are sent with express post for a flat $13.99. Purchases for the week will be cut off SUNDAY - 8pm. All orders placed after that time may be sent on the following week.
Super Safe Postage
All parcels will have the "super safe express" postage option. It is optional, but if selected, we will go above and beyond with extra features to make sure your fish arrive safe.
These extra features (Thicker large parcels, larger and more bags, heating, extra insulation and water for each fish etc...) are expensive and not necessary for most parcels,
so we have made it optional for those who want to take the extra care. For rural locations or just if you want to make sure your fish will be extra safe it is recommended. All postage options still have the DOA guarantee however.
Pickup
Pickup is from our store located at: 153/313 Harris St, Pyrmont, Sydney, NSW. Please let us know before you come after placing your order so we can confirm it will be ready then.
Terms and Conditions
We will refund or replace any livestock that arrives DOA (Dead on Arrival) but cannot guarantee your order will arrive on time since we have no control over the postage service. If you have any issues with your order please let us know.
Enjoy!
