WTB feeders

Hi,

I'm mainly looking for guppy and endler culls to resupply my feeder fish colony. Will consider other fish that you don't mind becoming food.

In person November 8, 2025 - CCA Group Auction @ Glenallan Elementary School - All Purpose Room. 12520 Heurich Rd, Silver Spring, MD 20902

We have created an auction for the November 8, 2025 in-person CCA meeting. Users of the website must register on the CCA MyGroupAuction website: mygroupauctions.com. Sellers are encouraged to upload a photo of the fish/item to be auctioned. These items can be viewed by all registered users before the auction.

CCA's board of directors(BOD) has voted to allow the use of the minimum bid space on the MY GROUP AUCTIONS (MGA) website. Specifically the BOD approved the use of the minimum bid in the following manner: Bidding for any item with a minimum bid on its label will start at that amount and proceed as normal for any auction. If the minimum bid is not met, the owner of the item will take the item back into his possession. If the owner is not present to take back his item that did not sell, the minimum bid indicated on the label will not be in effect and so there will be no minimum bid on the item.

Please try to bring something for the auction. If you can make it a donation, so much the better. It's our club. If we want to keep it healthy, we all need to play a role.

If you have any questions, please ask.

Free 125 project tank

It’s a 125 gallon that I never got around to using. Pickup in Brookeville, 20833.

The bottom pane is broken, so you could use it for parts, replace it, grow plants in it, etc.

It’s been outside and needs a cleaning. IMG_2127.jpegIMG_2128.jpeg

Looking for ID

I have some fish that a friend dropped in my pond and left them for me to raise. I have no idea what specifically they are, but I'm fairly sure they're some Vieja sp. I have 3 of them and this is the smallest one of the three.
Any help with ID would be appreciated.
