Description:

View attachment 1301085 View attachment 1301086 16” male, 12” female. Haven’t spawned yet but with some TLC very likely. Approximately 4 years old. Breaking down 155 gallon tank in prep for mold remediation asap. Not planning to set up the tank again.
These fish go in and out of breeding coloration. They are siblings. Grew from fry spawned from Paratheraps Rio Coatzacoalcos purchased at a NJAS auction several years ago when Rusty Wessel spoke at a club meeting and brought a bag of young fish that he donated for auction. I purchased them; ended up with two proven breeding pairs, and these fish are from one of the spawns.

Photos: please try to overlook the water quality, etc. My daughter added water to the tank recently as I have been out with pneumonia and not home. In the process she shut off the sump filter by turning off the light switch that runs it. I discovered this today. Fed the fish....tank looks awful, today. Lucky any of the fish are alive....tank is heavily stocked.

Photos: male; center photo is the female (she is about 12”, larger than photo appearance), another photo of the maleView attachment 1301085 View attachment 1301086 . They change coloration but not spawning so far. Female has protective space in this tank; would be essential in a new home.....otherwise you’ll lose the female.​

Hello Unstoppable JayD.
I appreciate your help. Saw one reply (this afternoon) and texted that individual. If there are more inquiries I am unaware of them. I am not used to being so “dense”.....not helpful to anyone.
I’m hoping to be able to muddle through and let a knowledgeable fish keeper give the pair a new “forever” home. Thank you again, Joan

Hello Luis,
Young fish keeper has agreed to purchase them. He is coming to my house shortly and may purchase the 155 gallon bow front tank too....said he would take all away today.

But....he has no experience with these fish (he is reasonably familiar with the hobby....several tanks, breeding some fish, etc.). I must remove the tank for remediation of mold on the stand, carpet under the tank, etc.. Can’t do this until big fish are gone

You are welcome to call if you believe your case to own the fish trumps his. I have told him that I advertised the fish but have not heard from anyone nor have I checked the site for responses....so that’s what I’m doing now (nothing like the last minute,).

I had posted “free fish tanks and fish stuff” on Craigslist. Had not posted the large tank, but he saw it, wants it, and wants the fish. So that’s where it stands. They are not promised to anyone yet.

They are not promised to him at this time,but he is here so when you get this. Joan M.
