Free to a good home. Just can't do it anymore. Unfortunately I have not been keeping up with water changes and sparsely feeding these poor guys. Their stand is disintegrating and I am spilling ~6 gallons a day from my sump. They are coming from a 75 gallon aquarium w/ 18 gallon sump + 40 watt uv sterilizer. When times weren't tight and my love of the hobby was there, I fed mostly Hikari foods such frozen blood worms, mysis shrimp, algae wafers, brine shrimp, and New Life spectrum thera pellets. I can provide medicine (Kanamycin and Levamisole, no Cupramine for ich atm...) for their quarantine.

Approximately 8-9 clown loaches
3 large yo-yo loaches
2 kubotai loaches
1 queen loach (of the original 5...)
1 tiger pleco

I've cared for these guys for ~7 years now. They deserve better, whole shoal goes together please. They are healthy, just neglected :(
 
man, sorry to hear that, so nice of you. I love to take them all, i have 180 gallon with 13" clown loaches, a very good home for them, too bad you're near santa barbara, too far from santa ana.
I'm sure you will find a good home for them soon, good luck
 
wow! wish i was closer! i would get them and put them in my 100 gallon =)
 
For clarification: I was injured on the job approximately a year ago and can no longer take care of this system in the manner that it deserves. The tires on my truck are shot and showing secondary rubber, meaning that I'm just a blowout away from disaster. Meeting in Santa Barbara may be an option, anything further is out of the question :(
I am also offering to help others with gas money if they are willing to come to me ($40 bucks is all i got... really.)

I am offering all of my stock to this community for FREE provided that I get to see my lil guys once they are in their new home please. That's not to much to ask, is it?
 
Awe man!!! I've been looking to double my shoal of Clown Loaches in my 500. I would take all your fish but I'm in PA. G/L, I'm sure someone will have a good home for them.
 
BUMP! and if someone has a heart, should donate some money to help you get on your feet in stead of getting a good deal out of those guys.
 
Wish you all the luck finding them a new home and with life. I would be more than happy for them to find a new home in my 180 gal. but I'm in Indiana, a bit far even for a great deal like this. Good luck.
 
Is there a pets store that would buy them off of you? Sorry about your situation. I am sure some one will take them. I'm in burbank but you aways from that.....
