Must Sell All Prized Fishies

Folks,

It is with heart wrenching difficulty that type these characters today.

I have alot of fish, at least alot for me, and I want to keep every single one, even the babies. But the cold grip of reality is slowly choking my will, with every passing minute I feel death's grip tightening.

I am moving to Idaho, and a team of logisticians have failed to provide a solution to my quandry. I am currently fixing up my mobile home, or as I call it, 'The Trailer' and there is going to be alot of paint, sweat, tears, and carpet moving around.

My tank is just too large, and its inhabitants too numerous to manage. Plus, I am going to be going on the road for work quite a bit, starting tomorrow.

I need to sell my fishies, er I mean my Piscine Warriors,....gulp...and my tank (125g).

Here's what I got:

4 - Protomelas T. (Red Empress) (Breeding Pair, 1 Prob M, 1 Prob F)
[attachmentid=173]

4 - Metriaclima C. (Cobalt Blue) (Breeding Pair, 2?)

6 - Pseudotropheus Acei (Breeding Pair, 4?) (Possibly up to 3 Males altogether)

2 - Aulonocara J. (Lemon Jakes) (Breeding Pair) Alot! Female is holding
[attachmentid=174]

3 - Labidochromis C. (Yellow Labs) (Breeding Trio) Alot!

5 - Pseudotropheus Polit ( 2M, 3F) Two broods so far.

I haven't decided for sure whether I am going to get rid of the Polits.

There are also some fry in the big tank.

2 - Metriaclima C.
2 - Labidochromis C.
2 - Pseudotropheus Acei
1 - Protomelas T.

Could be more or less, they like to hide in the rocks.

I also have quite afew fry in a 20g Long:

6 - Polits
5 or 6 - Lemon Jakes
3 - Red Empress
30 - Yellow Labs

The Red Empress and 3 or 4 of the Lemon Jakes are about 2 inches

The polits are only about 1 inch.

About 7-8 of the Yellow Labs are 2 inches or more, the rest are only about 1 inch.

I will be out of town until Sept. 12, I will contact any interested folks at that time.

I am also selling the Tank, Sold to me as a 125 Gallon, no overflows. Comes with an Oak cabinet stand and hood. I added braces to keep the lid open and also installed 4 24" light fixtures. There are two Life-Glo2 bulbs and two standard flourescent bulbs. I also bought 2 glass tops for the tank.
[attachmentid=175]

[attachmentid=176]

The tank is filtered by a Fluval FX5 canister filter. VERY nice filter, VERY happy with it. I use the blue fine pad and the white micron pad, very clear water, no particulate. Needs to be clean and pads replaced about every three-four weeks, but its worth it. Very easy to maintain. I hate to get rid of it, but I don't know when I'll use it again after this.

I also have alot of extra stuff:

AquaClear 110 power filter
Various Power Heads
UGF (I think)
Several buckets :D
Rocks (Currently in the tank)
Sand (PFS) (Currently in the tank)
Couple of fake rock structures
Lace Rock

Malawi Buffer and Salt (SeaChem)

Air Pump
5g tank
10g tank
20g Long w/Hood

OK,

Time is running out.

So far the Acei's and the baby Polits are spoken for as are the Tank/Stand/Hood and the Filter.

Folks...I have alot of fish to get rid of....come on!

4 Red Empress
4 Cobalt Blue
2 Lemon Jakes
3 Yellow Labs

I have decided to keep the Adult Polits.

I gotta git rid of these fish, and I would rather them go to someone who I think will take care of them.

I am only asking for $10 per adult fish with the exception of the large adult Red Empress which is $15.

You can pick up the fry for 3 for $5.

Please help me...as Francine would say...."I'm quite serious about this."

I am probably going to have to leave again in a week or so.

Looks like I will be taking the Lemon Jake and Yellow Lab fry to Scales, and eventually the adult Yellow Labs if nobody makes firm plans to get them.

I'd be interested in the lemon jake pair and the lemon jake fry. Let me know when I can pick them up. Best way to reach me is frog317@hotmail.com.

Possibly interested in tank, stand, canopy, let me know a price.

Might also be interested in some fish if I'm coming to get the tank, stand, canopy.

Tank Setup is $750. The Red Empress are perfect for that size. They get kinda large. Someone else is also interested in the tank so I need to hear from you by tonight.

I've sent you a couple of e-mails and a PM I think. I have the Lemon Jakes, you can have the pair and all the fry for $20. I am basically giving you the fry for no charge, there are 5 of various size, one is pretty small but they seem pretty hardy.

Quick Update------

I also have 4 Jack Dempseys and 4 Blue Acara which need new homes. Will sell for $7 each, or 4 for $20, or all 8 for $30.

I need to move these guys fast.
