Dear aquarium sellers...

Date: 2009-04-15, 7:28PM CDT

Contrary to popular belief there is no shortage of 55 gallon freshwater tanks.

In fact, at Walmart you can buy a complete 55 gallon setup minus fish and gravel (and a few decorations) for around 90.00, add some fish and gravel a few decorations, and you pay around 130.00.

For a BRAND NEW tank.

At Petco, or Petsmart the same tank is around 150.00, so with fish and gravel 180.00.

So explain how your used tank, with the same items, is worth 350.00? 500.00? Are you on crack?

No one cares what you paid for it, I paid 42k for my pickup 5 years ago, you think I am getting 42k for it back? You think anyone goes out, buys something, uses it for a few years, then can sell it for what they paid for it new? Are you smoking something?

I am sad to lose my fish, Tupac, but he is simply getting too large for my aquarium! I've already upgraded my tank for him once, and cannot do it again. He's a beautiful fish, and will almost eat from your hand! (but watch out for those teeth!) He is shiny silver, with beautiful red on the belly. He's about 10-12". He would be perfect in a tank at least 75 gallons.

Am asking $40 obo, must be to a good, caring home. Please respond with your tank situation and I will get back to you immediately.

Thanks!

I picked up 3 red belly piranha all 6" - 8" for FREE not long ado. Tho it was a 6 hour round trip. Funny thing is when I got there I'm looking in this little 29 gal tank with water soo green you could see 2" past the glass. Reminded me of the picture a few posts up but bright green like pea soup.lol
