I usually post wanted ads on craigslist looking for unwanted equipment. Well last week I got a free 55g tank that needs the top brace fixed and re sealed. So I started cleaning that up and figured I would post on there to see if anyone had and cichlids that they could no longer care for since people are often miss led when buying them. I expected it to take a while to hear anything and by then my tank would be ready (using media from an already established tank to do a mini cycle)
Well low and behold I get someone that just moved and has no room for there tank and wants me to take there 2 convicts (aka feeder breeders for my jd) I said heck yea Ill take them but it might be a week or two till my tanks ready. I get an email back saying they forgot to mention that they are including the whole tank and setup! Cant beat that with a stick if you tried. Not sure on the sex of fish, size of fish, or tank set up, but heck its free.
I didnt post this to brag, but to give you all an idea. Especially with todays economy, not everyone wants to feed or care for there fish, let alone pay the utility bills that come with the territory. As long as you word things right people will see you as the fishs best option. Here is a link to my post so you see what I wrote.
