Greetings!

Life/work changes are requiring that I be a responsible fish keeper and downsize in the hobby for the time being, so I’ll be shutting down a few of my systems. This thread is for the livestock that are immediately available, and the systems will follow in a separate thread. My goal is to have most of them cleared out prior to my next series of business trips in July.

I have been blessed with the opportunity to have many systems going simultaneously with the good fortune of minimal loss of lives. As such, several of the fish I will be listing were originally purchased from other MFK members months or years ago. I’m looking at this as an opportunity for the rest of you out there to enjoy them as much as I/we have.

Some basic parameters for all the fish:

• All sizes are eyeballed – might be a bit understated/conservative in the estimates.
• Photos? Sure, I can take photos…but I think posting 30 of them would make it hard to read the thread. Many of you have seen my livestock in person and can (hopefully!) vouch for the quality and health of my fish… If you really insist on seeing a picture rather than just taking the time to come out in person, I’ll email/PM it to you.
• Fed pretty much only hikari gold (floating and/or sinking) and chopped shrimp.
• All are in “community systems” - large-scale environments with several other tank mates.
• Generally everyone has been well behaved with minimal to zero fin nips (unless otherwise specified).
• You WILL be expected to assist in fishing them out of their tanks as many of them are in large (300+ gallon) setups and we’ll need to work together to catch them in such a large space.
• Bulk discounts are available, and you’ll get a free 2lb bag of shrimp for all purchases totaling over $100 :D

PM or text me at 562-726-7401. Thanks!
 
For everyone requesting photos or specific fish, it's easier to just PM/text me your email address and then I'll send them over. Thanks~!
 
Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there on MFK...! :)
 
Thanks for the inquiries!
 
Umbee & buttikoferi are SOLD
 
Thanks for the props! Also, "Tiggy" is still swimming solo, but definitely loves his shrimp... ;)
 
once i sell my red isleta ill definitely hit you up for a few of yours. Your right Isleta is definitely a bully thats the whole reason i want him out. Other than that its a nice fish, very active
 
The isletas worked really well with other fish...so long as they were twice his size... LOL. He actually did well in the community for quite awhile but, once I started redistributing/balancing tanks, he ended up being the odd man out...

For whoever buys him, he's best suited for an environment with a couple of monster aros cruising the top, and a few large cats on the bottom, with him patrolling the middle...
