If something here appeals to you send me a PM and make an offer (can mix and match and/or put together complete set-ups for those wishing to just plug and play) – if I think it’s a fair offer I’ll let you know ASAP - whatever doesn’t sell goes to Aquafest. I’m in NW DC between Columbia Heights & U Street Metro stations on Green/Yellow line. Can bring items to meeting but pick-ups get priority/better deals.

Sorry to hear. You have always been very kind to me and others.

I would be interested in some Apistos if you want to ship.

Very very sad to see you go, Sam, but I understand. Your 5 years in DC is up.... time to go find a new adventure.

To anyone considering some of these fish, they are top notch. His hecklii are some of the most beautiful fish I've ever seen and much larger than mine. Someone needs to jump on those and the Biotidoma stat. His discus is also pretty awesome.... calling him medium size is being pretty far on the conservative side.

You certainly will be missed, my brother.

Yes, Sam has some great fish left. Very cool apistos and some very nice corydoras.
He also has good equipment.

Step and buy, folks!

Open house blow-out sale

Thursday after 4:00PM and all day Friday. Plants, fish, tanks, filters, lights, etc. - it's just easier this way. Deals on everything - only ask that visitors be well-behaved.

Address is 2615 13th Street NW at Euclid Street, DC, top floor, midway between Columbia Heights and U Street Metro stations on green/yellow line. Will hold items or may bring to meeting if I receive a reasonable bid in advance.
 
Sam -- I'd like all 15 blue tetras. You tell me the price.

Plus the aforementioned plants.

I will try to come by Friday rather than make you haul them to the meeting, but I'm still working (I'm not furloughed) so that might not work . . .

I'm really sad to see Sam go - CCA's truly losing one of its most thoughtful, generous and inspiring members.

Really

You're all so very full of it...

Holly: since you're hyper-conscientious, how about you decide what's fair and then give me $5-$10 less than that...

Oh Sam, learn to take a lofty compliment, or ten...

I can come out Friday night, leave by 6 which means getting there around 7, but I won't have help - if anyone else is planning to be there around that time who can help with some heavy lifting (55-gallon and stand), let me know? I'll bring beer.

Normally I'd bring my husband, but someone has to watch Isaac, who won't fit in the car with a 55 gallon tank and stand...
