Craigslist ad that really shocked me!

Normally I understand that newbs dont realize to keep certain fish in large tanks but this shocked me, this guy has 3 full grown oscars in what seems to be a ten maybe 20 gallon, now he states that he is selling a 55 gallon, and better yet he's asking $250. WOW!!!

This thread will become worthless once the listing is no longer viewable. Best to copy and paste CL listings into the thread.


BTW the tank looks to be 24" wide, 12" deep and 24" high

Selling a 55 gallon tall fish tank with stand and accessories, and 3 full grown oscar fish. The fish tank is in good codition, all the seals are intact only slight damage to the flip lid. the stand is wood with a metal rod on each side and a tinted glass door in the middle. The tank will come with a top fin 60 gallon filter, two air pumps, a heater, and light for the top of the tank. The oscars are fully grown, two are albino and the the third is a tiger. look at the attached pics. Great fish and tank have to sell to make room for second bedroom in office. if interested please e-mail me at vickerytr@yahoo.com

^^^ok didnt know that was possible, yea most shocking to a cheap ass like me is that hes already asking a lot for a 55 and its not even a 55, and theres 3 fish the length of the tank in there, and they arent 48 inch fish!!!!

No craigslist ads shock me. Still, I hate to see ones like this. Fish should be free, tank should be 50 bucks.

It is worth nothing that Petsmart does sell a 56g wide tank that looks almost exactly like that (same stand) but it is 18 inches wide. Tough to tell from the picture if that is it.
