Due to illness I need to downsize the number and size of tanks I have in the house. It is too many for me to handle so will be restricting my collection to just a couple of small species. I have a 72 gallon (might be 75) bowfront with wooden cabinet stand, light oak (?) colored. It has a decent strip light for low light plants but the glass tops were missing when I bought it. There are 2 really large Penguin HOB filters with filter baskets, visa therm 115w heater, natural gravel, a piece of holy rock, several pieces of coral rock and slate, several fake plants, a large driftwood log, and who knows what else. It's all in good shape just needs a bit of a cleaning. The tank comes with a large breeding colony of Hap. Kyoga Flamebacks and a smaller breeding colony of Paralabidichromis Chromogynos Cichlids. The tank will go with fish as I have no other place for them. They are very nice healthy fish, females are holding all the time (1 of each species os holding right now) and I hate to let them go but am forced to do so. I have no idea what all this is worth so I am asking $150.00 cash for everything out the door; obviously this is for pick up only, I don't have a truck so I cannot meet you anywhere - you'll have to come all the way and bring your own buckets for the fish and large rocks. I think you would easily pay $1000 or better for a similar set up new. Sell the babies and you'll make the $ back quick.
I am also going to be selling a trio of Red Finned Piebalds, 4 large Mesonauta, 5 large Green Severums (1 spawning pair out of the 5), adult convicts, bulls, females or pairs (both blacks and whites), OB L. Fuelleborni and a bunch of betta splendons and some of the tanks these fish are housed in. I struggled for a long time before coming to terms that this was something I had to do, I really like my pets so I hope they can go to someone that will love them and get as much enjoyment from them as I do! I really need this to go to new home before winter sets in!
PM or email me with any questions but don't ask me a lot of technical stuff because I don't know the answers.
I'll try and post a picture of the tank for this thread later tonight or tomorrow. You'll have to Google the fish, I'm not going to pull them out of the tank for a photo.
I suppose I could sell the fish seperate from the tank if I had to but it will be an all-or-none deal as I can't end up with 1 or 2 fish that I can't get homes for.
 
Sorry, I'm no photographer

Here's a list of fish that need to be rehomed with the amount I'd to have for them. I have no idea how to ship larger fish and don't want to even learn or try at this point. If you know somebody in WA that knows how to do that they can pick them up after I get payment and they can ship them to you - the shipping costs, etc. would be between you and them.
Anyway:
Piebald trio - $40.00
4 Mesanauta - $34.00 for all (there is a confirmed pair here)
5 Sev's - $45.00 (they come with 1 gold colored angel fish, 1 confirmed pair)
OB Fuelleborni - $2.00 each, I have about 30 of all sizes, males and females
Cons - $1.00 each
3 different pairs of HM betta 4-5 months old - Pearl $40.00
Pink Platinum $40.00
Single Navy blue male - $12.00
(1 y/o)Marble black/white pair - $20.00
Single females from the black/white marbles $6.00 each 7 months old
(there are piebalds, marbles, black ice)
2 single males - 1 marble, 1 multi color $12.00 each (also 7 mo old)
I also have 3 pet quality boys that need good homes, $5.00 adoption fee.
Can ship the betta for $10.50, $14.50, $16.50 Priority depending on how many fish I can get in the box safely. More then 6 fish will need to be weighed out for cost.
 
Listed tank and 20 Fuelleborni are pending! Thank you!
Everything else still available!
Also a group of 9 Thorocochromis (West African cichlids) - I'd like $72. These are just a little over a year old and are courting. Hard to get ahold of cichlid that takes a bit of work to be successful with I hear. It looks like there are 2 males in this group but there could be more, it's difficult to know as the sub dominant males look just like females.
You'll have to Google for pictures of these also as they are notoriously shy.
 
Please note I've stated "I'd like" on the prices listed - make me an offer if anything sparks your interest.
I will be listing more next week.
 
I'm adding several 2.5 gallon tanks completely cycled with substrate (most of a couple of tiny fish if wanted) and filters (no lights) for any pico people out there! Would "like" $15.00 each. Standard Perfecto glass aquariums with black trim (usually removed but not always) as well as 1 2.5 Aqueon acrylic and 1 TopFin 1.5 acrylic. These have been up and running for quite awhile (greater then 6 months). Keep checking back, I'll be adding more no doubt as I really need to clear these out quick!
WA people should all get a trip together and make a day of it!
 
The tank, Flamebacks, Chromo's, some Fuelleborni and a few others are sold. Still have alot that could use good homes: The Fuelleborni are great fish, Google Thoracochromis B. - great olive green and red boys! The pico tanks are pretty cool and I have great bettas and a couple killis to go with them!
Get everybody together that wants a low cost pico set up or great fish at a decent price and make a day of it - it's a pretty drive!!! And I need to shut down more tanks, if you are interested in something I haven't listed let me know - I just might have it!
