OH
was offered a 55g tank/stand/hood 5 yrs old

some kind of "400gph HOB filter"

and 12 assorted african cichlids (I don't know what kind haven't seen them)

$75
 
cant go wrong at that price
 
Thats an awesome price. I would take it in a heart beat. The price alone would be for the fish. Depending on what specie and size that would for $75 or more. So basically your getting the tank and filter for free. I would make sure there's nothing wrong with the tank 1st though.
Good Luck
 
Buy the tank, then sell the africans to lfs. Even if you can make $3 a piece (which is a little low) thats $36 dollars off. 75-36=39, so you could be getting all that for 39 dollars. Then stock it with whatever appeals to you.

yah that was kind of my thoughts also

I don't really want the fish whatever they are....unless I was to find out they were really something rare/special. But I highly doubt that.

Same person also wants to sell me a 20H....same type of setup....no fish tho..... $25

I really dont have room for more tanks lol....but I hate to pass up a deal.
 
well I went and looked at the tanks today

the 'african cichlids' turned out to be Convicts 7 normal and 4 pink

and the 55g is actually a 75... I don't think the seller knows that.

both the 75 and the 20H look clean with tank/stand/hood
100 bux for both.... dont ask me what I am gunna do with them haha


are adult convicts worth anything at all?
or are they destined for a hot date with my buddy's arrowanna? lol
 
Wow awesome pick up. I would see if i could get atleast some store credit for the cons. Even a few dollars each you could end up with $20-30 bucks.
