Sorry to see that you have to sell your tanks. From what I've seen over the years, your fish are always happy and healthy (as can be seen by the age of the fish you have available). Good luck with the sale.

Sorry to hear about your going out of the hobby and illness..hope all goes well..How many gallons are rated for these 2026's? And what are you asking for the tetras and albino pleco?

Everything is pick up only. Tetras and pleco are free if you really want to come and get them.

I have the 2026 on a 75g thay is pretty heavily stocked. Water is very clean. Very low maintenance and very easy to clean. You can add a AC 110 in addition for polishing the water but not realy neccesary.

I live in Madison county and commute to C'ville. No real use for your S.A. Cichs; I'm more into Africans. But I maintain a 55 at Johnson Elementary School (heavy plants, with two orandas and a pleco) , and the kids would probably love the ABP. Would you take ten bucks?
I'd also like to see the driftwood. Trying to go more into plants in my 150, since I sold all my Tropheus and am getting A. Comps. More wood and fewer rocks would do nicely.
Thanks,

I too am sorry to learn of your need to downsize. I have enjoyed your updated posts over the years.

Pleco is free Ms. Wright if you want to come get him (I think its a male)

I have really nice driftwood and cedar wood mounted on tile base.

Forgot about my Adult Cryptoheros Chetumalesis Rio Chahal pair. They sort of get along but wont spawn for me. She did have a suscessful spawn with a different male a long while ago.

[Ading522]

if you werent so far away..i will pick up those fishes for sure!

 

[MonteSS]

I will offer the fish as free to a good home.

Since I have no local clubs, what is the best way to sell/give the fish away so I can sell the tanks on CL?

I hate to sell/give fish away on CL as most dont even know what they are.

I could destroy the hybrids if I have to (but the males really are gorgeous).

Thanks....Bill

How soon do you have to have the fish out by? Is there a possibility to meet somewhere along 29 between Gainesville and Charlottesville or will we have to come all the way? Just trying to look at the logistics.

Thanks
Rob

 

[rich_one]

Any club members live near there that are coming to the bbq? Would love to get that Centrarchus!

-Rich

 

[MonteSS]

I actually am in no hurry at all.

If ALL the fish would be taken I would consider meeting in Culpepper (1 hour north of me on 29) or Richmond (1 hour se)

Centrachus was from Rapps.

Bill,

Sent you a PM.

Thanks

[MonteSS]

It looks like Rob will kindly take all the fish. Thanks so much.
