- How boxes are packed, and fish arrive safe and as unstressed as possible, with near zero losses. Also, a new way to look at whether fish should be quarantined, and a look at box filters and how they work!

Great video Greg
Simply email me at selectaquatics@gmail.com. Thank you! Greg Sage.
I am.interested in the fishes you have how do i order do.u have a facebook page
Where do you get the marbles that you use in the box filters? Thanks!
Actually, since they are rarely found as a toy any longer, I get them from the garden sections of stores - like you would pot narcissus in. People tell me you can usually find them in dollar stores as well.
Your shipping procedures are the best I've ever seen. The Odessa Barbs that you sent me back in October showed up the next day in very good condition. The packaging was top notch to say the least. I actually put out a video of them same Odessa Barbs today on my new channel. I couldn't have been happier with them. Such a beautiful fish and thank you for helping me out with them this past week.
Great video
Nice video, Greg. What size and type of breather bags do you use? I stopped using them altogether after Kordon stopped making the 5x8.
Why do you need a license?
I need a license to legally sell and operate without running into conflict with the IRS. Greg Sage, selectaquatics.com
Nice to see your process. 😊 I love box filters! Switched months ago from HOBs and haven't looked back.
Been waiting for this video for a while! thanks again for another great video. I have a lot to learn.
great video! interesting to see how a proffesional ships his fish
Nice! Very professional.
Why do you need a license for the styrofoam boxes?
The license for the Astros allows me to go into secure areas and restricted areas of the University to collect boxes. Most institutions wish to restrict who come in and take things. Greg Sage, selectaquatics.com
For the Styros
When i die I want to come back as Greg Sage. Your awesome!
Really great to see your process for shipping Greg and how even the worst customer can be a blessing in disguise. Love your videos and can't wait for the next one!
Thanks for the always valuable information.
Wow chuck seems like a real piece of work. Sorry you had to go through that, anyone who I’ve ever seen a video of you or heard of you has only said nothing but nice things about your shipping! Anyway, one of those bags I think are mine! Super excited to get those Montezumae!! I will do an unboxing video of it. Thank you Greg and keep up the good work my friend!
Great video! So happy you addressed the box filters. I've been thinking of getting some since I first encountered your website about a month ago. Please correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't siphoning mulm once a week for example be better than letting the box filter collect mulm for an entire month? Sure it's nice to have the box filter clear up the tank bottom but it's still in the system. And that's my only concern. Thank you :)
Keeping a tank relatively clean is always a good thing, but with the box filters you have consistency. That is nearly as important for the fish as keeping the tank clean. You can ultimately be more consistent with regular siphoning, but overall you will likely find that though the box filters are allowed to become dirty, they will keep your conditions more consistent than going in and doing siphoning. We all get busy...other priorities intervene...
With box filters they are always working well for you 24/7.
you make a great point there. Buying a couple to try out. Thanks so much for the input.
Thank you - For some reason there will always be those trying to get something they are not entitled to, and fortunately they are few and far between. It was a win-win for me, though it didn't seem like it at the time! You know who you are - I will not only accept an apology, I will mention your coming forward in a future video - without mentioning your name, unless you want me to -
Really liked your description of the benefits of quarantine.
Made a lot of sense.
I like how you use your box filters. I have an old eheim pickup internal canister filter I use the same way. It does the mechanical filtering in the tank along with my regular canister prefilter; and both of those are cleaned at least every two weeks. I prefer to remove the waste before it has a chance to break down completely. No surprises on the shipping - shipping is expensive, no way around that. (unless your Amazon). Looking forward to Amica splendins!
I ordered and have used the exact same Jehmco box filter Greg has recommended from Jehmco for the past 6 months with a great deal of success! It's great to share knowledge and learn from others within the hobby...
I can say with confidence that working with Greg was a pleasure. My Odessa Barbs are everything that I expected. And , Greg, I took notes. Will be ordering about a dozen box filters soon. Thank you so much!
Great story do u have some trout goodies
Greg, thanks for all your recent videos. They show the care that you take with your fish, and with providing others with your special species. i salute you, and all others, that are trying to make a real difference in the preservation of species in peril.
Greg: thank you for all the time and detail you take in your videos
Great video.
