I need to rehome my fish. I'm really hurt because I've raised them all from babies, but I need to do what's best.
Before anyone jumps on me, it has nothing to do with money or the RBP's size.
My dad is just really bipolar/schizo/whatever and things have been getting really stressful and there've been more and more "You'll get kicked out" threats. Which aren't empty. He kicked me out in 2008 on Christmas Eve, and this time, if my Plan B fails, I won't be able to go back. So I pretty much just want my fish in a safe/secure place, because they won't be able to live in my car with me if that's what it comes to.

Here's what I have:
1- Red Belly Pacu. $5.
I call him Spanky, because well...he's a Spanky. Very mischievous and he'll refuse one grape but eat another. He's somewhere around 12" long. I have no proof he's a male, but I doubt a female would have his coloration.
1- Rhino/Alligator/Chocolate Pleco. $8.
I've absolutely no idea how to tell gender in plecos to be honest. But I've always thought of it as a male- perhaps I've subconsciously figured out he's a male and since forgotten. He's good, nice marbled coloration, slight pink/red streak on the tail. He seems to do a great job of cleaning up after the RBP and Bichirs, which are piggies, and I'm yet to have an algae problem. He does seem to be the type that won't be out with the lights on if he has much choice. He ventures out sometimes though. About 8" long.
2- Senegal Bichirs. There's General (male) and Serge (female). $12.
They're still juveniles, measuring about 9" long each, but I believe they have high breeding potential as they're always together and do seem to adore each other alot. As such, I refuse to separate them.
1- 75 Gallon Set-Up.
With Marineland C-360 filter: $375 obo
Without Marineland C-360 filter: $200
Glass tank. I'm not aware of, nor have I noticed, any scratches in it, except for the bottom. The stand is oak, painted with black lacquer. Comes with a 5-gallon bucket full of Amazon gravel, 2 glass lids, 2 light hoods with 2 of these 10K bulbs There are also a variety of fake plants, 2 rock/cave decorations, 1 small treestump decoration. The tank has a beautiful natural background. Also coming with it will be any foods (HBH Algae Wafers, Hikari Sinking Carnivore Pellets, Shrimp Pellets, Hikari Sinking Wafers, and a mix of misc. foods they never took to or from when I had gouramis), water treatments (Kordon NovAqua+, Kordon Amquel+, and API Stress Coat, a mostly full bottle of PraziPro, API Salt, and misc. items). The Freshwater Master Test Kit, which also has the GH&KH tests, along with the Copper test. The Marineland C-360 is about 9 months old, like new, and will be included with a tube cleaner, any extra media, which also includes substrate bags for Ammo Chips and Charcoal (both of which are also available). I also have a heater, rated for a 100 gallon tank, it works fantastically well and has a cute panda on top. And lastly, there's the Tetra Whisper Air Pump, again, rated for 100 gallons. It comes with 3 airlines, each fitted with 1 sandstone air stone (one has been bitten in half by Spanky >.<). Oh! And a new 16" tube Python gravel vac with a 6' hose. Hm. A 12" soft Tetra net. I'm sure there's more stuff I'm forgetting, but believe me. It's a *complete* setup, at a fraction of the cost I've put into it.

Pictures of the fish and tank are in my photo album, so take a look.
Email me directly at liz.lovely@live.com if you're interested, have any questions, or need a specific picture.

I will note that Spanky has lost the majority of his coloring during treatments for those white worms. The area that used to be red is now a darker gray than his body, and he does still have a very red "chest/upper belly"...roughly to his...middle..fins.
 
Those are great prices for your fish! I'm sure they will sell. I wish I could get the sens but I'm too far away. More importantly, I hope things work out between you and your father.
 
Yeah, thanks. I hope so too. I'm not really out to make money on them, and I want them to go to a good home. I know times are hard, but just getting a little something for roughly what I paid for them is fine by me. I know the tank seems steep but I think for the cost of everything it's still a fair deal.

Thank you =]
 
I'm a girl, actually..but thanks :)

Crappy story, but someone in this house killed my pacu (their QT had a thick layer of foamy bubbles on the surface- i.e. soap was introduced), but the bichirs and pleco are thriving.
If I cant find a home for them I'm going to try downsizing since a smaller tank would be easier to transport.

It's a shame. The bichirs have been extraordinarly lovey dovey lately.
