Looking to redo one of my tanks and switch up my livestock. Hate to part with these guys and would love for them to go as a group, especially the pike and the catfish as they are homies. Offers will be taken into consideration. Willing to meet up if not too far from the northwest Chicago suburbs.
-cephalosilurus apurensis catfish/17-18 inches: $300.00
eats frozen smelt, cut-fish, mussels, shrimp, nightcrawlers, live feeders.
Has never killed any tank mates besides a very belligerent plecco that pestered him relentlessly, often hangs with the pike cichlid in the same tube/same corner of tank.
Pretty mellow and lethargic, begs at water's surface like a dog, inhales food wickedly fast, often does headstands/floats on back around walls.
Had this guy since he was about 5 inches.
-chalceus/8-9 inches: $50.00
eats floating/sinking pellets, bloodworms, nightcrawlers, small feeders, waxworms, wide variety of frozen foods
Has always been skittish, super fast, peaceful with others fish, surface dweller, tank must have a sturdy lid as these guys are jumpers, very thick and pretty in color.
Had this guy since he was about 2 inches.
-pike cichlid/8-9 inches: $30.00
eats all manner of live and frozen foods, bloodworms, nightcrawlers, waxworms, crickets, feeders, krill, brine shrimp, chunks of raw shrimp, etc.
A chill guy but is a cichlid and will let his presence be known, not viscous, best buds with the catfish, sometimes is bossy with him.
Had him since he was about 2 inches.
Look forward to hearing from interested parties!
These pics are kinda old, I do have some more recent ones on my profile.
