Some jerk has a TON of poor fish crammed into this tiny 10 gallon tank up in San Marcos.

I'm debating on grabbing this tank so those poor fish don't suffer... problem is I live like 45 mins away almost, I'm down in Clairemont.

Thoughts? I don't have a quarantine set up right now but my 10 can easily be set up in 15 minutes with media from my 20. I have enough extra equipment laying about to be able to set up an emergency 20-40 gallon home depot tub thing too. I'm fully stocked on meds and I can keep the cory cat and cichlid, the goldfishes and pleco and whatever loach looking thing that is will be rehomed tho.

Got a full tank of gas.....
SHOULD I??????

I personally wouldn't unless you need another 10 gallon tank. You could always buy the tank and try to give the fish to a LFS, or just get another bigger tank if you were just that inclined to rescue these fish.
Then again, this is the reason that I don't frequent Craigslist all that often.

I could use the tank as a second quarantine and the fiance wants to do a smaller planted betta tank for the bedroom or his work. I will email the guy and see. Luckily aquatic warehouse has traded with me before, when in doubt I can take them there if they are healthy enough.

I'm just buttmad at this ad, I feel like I should at least try haha.

There you go. You have a valid and solid reason to go get this tank! I think it's a good deal for a fully set up 10g.

I hear ya on the buttmad at the ad, lol. I get that way as well when I see stuff like that.

Lol @buttmad!.....never heard that one before.

 

[GamerChick5567]

I'll be even more buttmad if it's just the tank... in which case they probably all floated belly up.....

Lol....I what kind of cichlid is that one hanging out near the top?

 

[GamerChick5567]

I was thinking the same thing. I wonder if he has something rare....

Doubt it but you never know.I say if traffic is not an issue go on drive down there and get the stuff.
