look at this email I got regarding my fish and tanks on craigslist.

~ Matt

Hello, Im interested in your fish you posted on craigs list.. I have a 55 gallon and a 30 gallon aquarium.. In my 55 gallon, I have 12 convicts, and 2 oscars.. I need to know what would be compatable with these fish off of your list, and the price on them (ie, $5 for all the convicts or $5 each.) my 30 gallon is set up and ready to go, but currently empty. Thanks

maybe edit the girls phone number out....
 
wait not yet... :naughty::D:grinno:
 
Nice...
Tell her to shop craigs list for a bigger tank and then email you back. :screwy:
 
yeah dude you shouldnt be putting that poor girls phone number on the internet. come on now :screwy:
 
i just coppied it, idc if her numbers on the internet, but i changed it for everyone :D

Yeah I would probably take her phone number out haha

But dont be to rough on her, maybe she has no idea. When I first started keeping fish I would have asked a silly question like that. Now I know and all of us here know thats obviously wayyyy over crowded. But when I first got my tank from my girl friend our best friends at Petsmart told me 1 gallon per inch of length for fish...so I had 4 Oscars in there hahaha

Kindly explain her problem to her, maybe reference her to this site to learn more on her fish before she invests more money in fish that will probably die in a massively overcrowded tank.
 
well, at least she didnt lie about what she has. ... lol

thats what happens though when you deal with people on craigslist. you get the average person... which usually has not a clue

yea, thats true.

I kindly told her that those oscars are gona need a 75gallon tank each, and if she plans on keeping them together that she will need about 100gallons.

also told her that once a pair forms out of those convicts the rest are gona get killed.

You should tell her most of your fish need a larger tank than that to live with her fish but that you have some larger tanks you could sell her.
