Downsizing from the hobby

I am downsizing from the hobby. My priorities need to be focused on my aging mom and other family members and unfortunately my aquariums now come last. I am hoping that someone may want to take over the care of my fish as well as the aquariums.
I have the following:
65 Gallon tank and stand - FX4; UV sterilizer; heater, sponge filter and light. FISH inside - Female Chocolate Cichlid; 4 yo-yos; 2 silver dollars; long fin pleco.
120 Gallon tank and stand - FX4; UV sterilizer; heater; sponge filter and light. FISH inside - TWO Red Devils - orange one female - white and orange - male. *These fish are large. Two large common plecos.
150 gallon tank and stand - FX6; UV sterilizers; heaters, sponge filters and light. FISH inside - 1 Male Jaguar (18"); 2 Extra Large Tinfoil Barbs; 3 Silver Dollars (2 are bonded); Extra large Common Pleco.

Ideally fish should go with tanks. If someone wants the tanks, the fish must go first. :cool:

I cannot move these for you, so arrangements for transportation is on you. Most weekends are best for transfer of ownership.

I am not setting a price, but I hope that who ever is serious can message me a reasonable offer.

I do have videos of the fish if you ask. This forum is not allowing me to post them.

Eheim Professionel 3

I have an Eheim Professionel 3 (probably 350) that is not doing well, so I am giving it away for parts. I am only keeping the bio media. Pick-up can be in Gaithersburg/Damascus or maybe in Germantown.
