ALL Fish & Plants - Quitting Hobby!

[mollygirl]

We're calling it quits on the fish hobby. Here's a partial list (all prices are OBO, please make as generous of an offer as you can, we can use the money):

Albino longfin bristlenose pleco breeders - total of 4 1/2 pairs - $100/pair or $150/trio
Gobs of cute juvie Calico bristlenose plecos (1.25" and up) - $5.00 each minimum of 4
Purple moscow guppies (some have said they're DD's, but I'm not sure) fry & parents are available – Trios are $25, juvies are $3 each
Alverezi swordtails - fry, juvies, and parents $3 each (dad will be the last to go)
Siamese algae eaters (the real ones) around 5" or so $7 each
Rainbow cichlids (these are the orange variety, but need a successful mating to change colors, I only have females) - $11 each
Brown bristlenose plecos - all ages: breeders, sub adults, & juvies - $20/pair, sub adults $7 each, juvies $4
and a few odd male Rainbowfish - $8 each

Plants galore! I have a monster collection of Crypt Wendtii (bronze and green) many are in the 11”-16" size range – 4 for $25. I have java ferns of all sizes from $3 up, a lovely sword that's around 12" tall and roughly 15" wide for $22, some Rotala rotundifolia, and some broad leaf repens.

Soon I'll also have a really nice twin 65 gallon showpiece setup. It's two 65's side by side on one base, high lighting, and a "privacy" curtain for each tank so the fish don't fight (removable of course).

That is probably close to the entire list. I'm sure there's more fish stuff, but this is the main stuff I want to move out first. All offers will be entertained, but please don't insult me. Minimum order size is $25 plus shipping. I will happily combine plants and fish, and accept paypal or Postal Money Orders.

My health simply isn't up to all the tank maintenance, plus we're going to move to a much smaller place. Oh well. It was fun while it lasted... Now my loss is someone else's gain. Come N Getum!

Java ferns: http://s194.photobucket.com/albums/z245/gametrailgirl/Aquarium plants/?start=all

Since the java ferns were priced before we decided to completely throw in the wet towel, take 10% off any order up to $50, and 15% off any order over $50 on the java ferns.

These items are gone: The sword plant, all the rotala, all the cabomba, 4 large crypts, 6 small crypts (have LOTS more of both sizes of crypts), Java Fern “X”, 5 swordtails, all the SAE’s, 4 calico juvies (have LOADS more of these), all the rainbowfish are all gone.

Still have: The other fish listed (pending at the moment, but not sold, is a breeding pair of calico bn’s, a breeding pair of brown bn’s, and a breeding pair of LF ABN’s). Only plants that are left are the Ludwigia broad leaf repens ($2 per large stem) and a bunch of java ferns (from $3 and up). Thanks to everyone who’s pitched in to help re-home plants and fish.

Further update (editing posts would be so handy if you could do it here!)... The fish pending above are sold (a breeding pair of calico bn’s, a breeding pair of brown bn’s, and a breeding trio of LF ABN’s). Still have one trio of LFABN's and two pair of them.

By the way, I just realized I made a typo on the Rainbow cichlids above - they're $14 not $11. I only have females, but look at what beautiful children they can have! F2 Orange variety Rainbow cichlids (their mom is on the right, and the daughters look just like her):

And another picture of their beautiful dad:

the albino LF look beautiful, price a little steep but good luck and sorry your quiting your hobby!!

 

[mollygirl]

The albino longfin trio is marked down to $140 for the three beautiful breeders. I only have one trio left, but two pair are up for adoption. I would much rather eggs be laid in YOUR tank than in mine - babies would just slow down the exit from the hobby.

Phew! What a day yesterday! We shipped out 51 fish, 3 boxes of snails, and 5 boxes of plants! By the time I got all of them to the post office and back home, I had to crash with a heating pad for a while!
Ok, what's left? Still have some Rainbow cichlids seen above, many cute Calico bristlenose pleco juvies (seen below), some Brown bristlenose plecos of various ages and sizes, one pair and one trio of Albino longfin bristlenose pleco breeders (also seen below), and quite a few Purple Moscow guppies left.
