We have a lot of fun activities lined up for the Summer!

June 29, 2025: Freshwater Collecting Trip

If you haven't done so yet, please sign up if you plan to join us. Deadline to sign up is Wednesday, June 25, 2025.

It will be a great day of fun in the sun potentially seeing (and maybe collecting!) rainbow, fantail, and green side darters, rosyside and blacknose dace, and numerous shiners.

Please be sure to purchase your license before the collecting trip. You will need the Non-Tidal Freshwater license regardless if you plan to collect or take fish home.

FS: L483 “Coral Prince Pleco” – Breeding-Sized Adults & Juveniles – Silver Spring, MD

Hey everyone,

Due to an upcoming move, I’ll be taking a break from the hobby and need to re-home a large group of my L483 “Coral Prince" Plecos. These are a very striking Panaqolus species, similar to the more commonly known L397s — but they’re far less frequently seen in the hobby. These guys LOVE driftwood, definitely make sure to have a healthy amount for them to chew on.

Pricing (offered cheap to find homes quickly):

  • 2–3 inch juveniles$20 each
  • 3–4 inch subadults$30 each
  • 4+ inch adults (breeding size)$40 each
    • I can attempt to sex these—most should be sexable at this size.
No minimum purchase required — though I do have a good number available, so feel free to build a group.


Pickup Only:

  • Located in Silver Spring, MD, near Holy Cross Hospital.
  • I’ll have them pre-bagged and ready when you arrive.
  • (Willing to meet somewhere if you buy 6+)

Photos (attached below):

  1. First picture shows one of the adult parents when I received it (representative of my current adults).
  2. Remaining photos are representative of the juveniles/subadults.

Feel free to reach out with any questions. I'm reachable on here or at lucashirsch9@gmail.com.

Thanks for looking, and I appreciate your help in getting these rare beauties into good homes!

Tanks for the taking

Greetings,

I am hastily emptying my walkout basement for construction (origin story: a water change gone wrong many years ago! Lol) and need to move some tanks asap. I’ve already moved the fish.

- 90-gal.
- 120-gal. (2’ x 4’ footprint)
- 75-gal
- 29-gal.

(There’s also an Oceanic 135, if anyone is that brave . . . so heavy.)

The larger ones all have stands of some sort (one metal, one purchased, one constructed).

Also, a bit of rock (some purchased, some collected), fwiw.

I’m off Montrose Road (exit 4 on 270) in Rockville. Looking at a Sunday-Tuesday a.m. timeframe.

Thanks,
Steve
