5 Indo Datnoids - all stable, between 3" and 6" (call it 3,4,4,5.5,6) - $250
1 Ctenopoma - 4-5" - $20
1 Distichodus Affinis - 3-4" - free
1 Distichodus Sexfaciatus - 10" - $75
3 Bala Sharks - 6-8" - $60
5 or 6 Clown Loaches - 3" - unsure
2 Silver Shark Cats (Hexanematichthys seemanni) - 10"+ - $20

Notes:

-I'm not in any hurry to sell these. I'd prefer if someone took them all together. But I'm willing to hold the Balas for VLDesign to add to his pack if he wants them (Loaches too actually). In fact, I probably won't sell the dats until all/most of the others are spoken for, just so it can all get done at once.

-Odd request: I'd like to reserve the right to buy back the largest Indo in the future, if I decide to set the tank back up. His name is Nibbler, he was my first, and I am attached to him. He has one middle stripe on one side and two on the other.

-The big distichodus is shockingly peaceful, nothing at all like their reputation.

-There were 4 larger clowns and 2 smaller but last I checked I only could count 5. They've been hiding a lot.

- The catfish are pigs and never stop moving, they're really cool.

It's not accepting attachments right now so photos will have to wait, but you know what they all look like.

They're all living in Chicago city water happily. Pickup would be near Wrigley Field.
 
NO SHIPPING

If I don't have a buyer by this weekend I'll split the dats up, but I know I'll be able to get someone to take them all.

I'd prefer that the Ctenopoma go with them too. They're friends.

I will PICK UP THE DATS this weekend, with CASH, I sent you a PM,
(did you get it ??), I understand no shipping, I will be driving over, let me know the details, if your serious.

Thanks
 
I'm shocked that none of the usual suspects locally have scooped up these dats.

You've got til this weekend or they're going to end up in Michigan...

Here are some random tank photos with most of the fish in them. I don't have any good shots of the dats because they're not photogenic, but the two shown are the same fish, Nibbler, a year apart. He grew a lot, though I guess it's hard to tell since the 2nd pic is so zoomed in on him. For scale, that grey rock he's next to in the 2nd is about 1/3 the height of the tree in the first. Actually both pieces of decoration are visible in the very first pic.

Let me know ASAP, as if I dont know by Thur, the LFS is getting my CASH, they just got in a shipment of 4 to 5in NGTs.

Id rather have INDOs personally, so let me know soon, as I have to make travel plans to Chicago.
Please respond via, PM please. I have sent you three of them now.

Its kind of a bummer, that I have to wait to give my money to you, because other people have first dibs, that are not even responding.

So please let me know if you are serious about selling for cash, so I may pursue other options, if you are not.

Thank you for the courtesy.
