Lavender/wc gourami for sale

4 lavender females + a wild caught male threespot gourami for sale, all for $85. All were $20-25 ea originally. Biggest female is about 3.5", male is 2.5". Male is a little beat up now because of the big female but should heal. Meet for pickup in Frederick, MD, can meet halfway. Darker picture is of the male, green gravel picture is of the females (yes I know there's a male in there) at the store when I bought them. They still look the same.1000044172.png1000044171.png

Blue dwarf gouramis/German Blue Rams/Bolivian Rams

Hi! Just joined today hoping to get some great info. I have a well-cycled 55G that’s been running for about a year. It has 6 Cory Cats, 6 dwarf blue gouramis, 6 black loaches, and a bunch of guppies. The guppies will eventually go back to the 20G.

I want to add Bolivian Rams and German Blue Rams but I keep reading conflicting articles that it’s ok and not ok. I don’t know which to believe. The tank has plenty of floating plants, planted plants, rocks, driftwood and sand. Temp is set at 78F. Parameters all read 0ppm and pH is 6.7. Any thoughts on these 3 types of fish living peacefully together? Are 5 of each fish too many?

Rehoming Synodontis Catfish

Hello! We are downsizing our aquariums and have two four year-old Synodontis Decorus (Maybe a hybrid?) that need new homes. One is about 5 inches and the other is about 7 inches (I can try to get more accurate lengths if needed).

The rehoming fee is $10 each.

I am in Ellicott City, but can meet in Silver Spring at certain times.

WTT: Pond Mag 2400 for something smaller

A Pond Mag 1200 would probably fit the bill.

FS: out of hobby (55 gallon, etc), $125, Frederick county

I’m selling as a lot, if I can.

The 55 gallon is new and comes with a lid and inset lights. It’s from Aqueon. I haven’t put water in it bc I injured myself transporting it, and that’s the primary reason I’m getting out of the hobby. ( The tank is fine. I saved it with my finger. It was not my smartest decision.)

Also included:
One small 5 gallon, bow front.
2 Tetra whisper air pumps
Misc. tubing, air stones, suction cups
Several small lights
Some live plants (Java fern mostly)
Baby brine shrimp hatchery
Anything else that I’ve forgotten. I want it to go to a happy home.

For some reason, I’m having trouble with pics, but I can email.


Pickup only, south New Windsor (15 min from Mount Airy)
