Rainbow shark needs new home - CO - Shipping (Express)

[saganco]

I'm getting totally out of the hobby, and my beautiful Rainbow Shark "Bashful" needs a new home. He/she is free, but shipping must be express mail. Poor thing stresses so badly that super fast shipping is all I'm willing to do for him/her (no idea on the gender). My zip is 81211 if you want to do a rough calculation (or I'll be happy to calculate it for you if you PM me with your zip).

Here's "Bashful" the shark:

If you’re interested, I also have some awesome looking male calico plecos - beautiful breeding stock - $17 each plus shipping.

Thanks for your interest in my lovely shark

is the fish agressive? How big is it?

I may be able to keep it, as long as it wont harm or eat any of my other fish

My zip is 01748, can you give me the price for shipping?
(sry about the two posts, would have condensed it into my previous one,but its but its being difficult)

It (I've been told the markings indicate it's a female, but I won't swear to it) is about 6" and fully grown. I'm sorry, I should have stated it's temperment - made the mistake of thinking her name would tell you. No - NOT aggressive. Quite the opposite, very timid - stays in her little cave a lot, and she only has plecos for tank mates! She's really pretty and dresses up the tank nicely. I have experienced that two of this species is a bad number, they chase each other constantly and one always gets picked on. That was the case when I had two of them, I ended up with one in a different tank. Now she's very docile...

Williboi - you don't have PM's enabled for your account. Please PM me for the shipping cost. No point in posting it, every person't shipping price will be different.

I am extremely sorry, but i cant take care of your fish. It is a bit large, and i didnt realize how big they got. Sorry, but i only care for small tropical fish

I think this person is hoping that the person who adopts her fish is knowledgeable about the species and its requirements and compatibility...

Have you tried posting it on Craigslist? I did this with my African cichlids, I said that the one requirement was that they send me a picture of their tank. Only one person replied (I think because of that requirement) and they had a 75 gallon with other African cichlids, so it worked out great :)

Problem is most of the craigslist areas are at least 2 hours away and folks are just plain stupid about working things out from a distance when most of them are not serious fish keepers to start with. I'll hold out for good people from the forums. Thanks for your kind thoughts though.

any pics of the plecos?

[saganco]

Thanks Crimson - I think he/she is adorable as well!

Here's an example of the plecos - some have more some have less bristles, but this guy just happened to be the one I caught for pics:

nice pleco

[saganco]

Yeah, he's a handsome devil isn't he? Make someone a nice stud for their breeding program...
