I originally posted these on Craigslist over a week or so ago, but rejected so many interests due to people asking if the Arowana or Catfish could live in a 55 gallon tank with Tetras! :irked: (I even posted care sheets with each fish!) Obviously I'd like to sell them, but decided their care and longevity is more important than top dollar. That being said, none of these fish are free.

18" Silver Arowana- $100 OBO. Active eater on pellets, shrimp pieces, night crawlers, smelt & anchovies, and only fed feeders once every 1-2 weeks. Not overly aggressive with tankmates.

14" Clown Knife- $20 OBO. Also a very active feeder on pellets, shrimp, night crawlers, and loves feeder fish. Had for 3-4 years, unsure on age or sex.

12" Red Tail / Tiger Shovelnose hybrid Catfish- $20 OBO. active, healthy cat. Small, recent nick in upper mouth, which will heal unnoticeably in a couple weeks. Aggressive feeder on anything that makes its way to the tank floor. Currently eating pellets, night crawlers, shrimp, smelt, anchovies, tilapia and feeder fish. Good coloration and proportions. RTC tail, but more resembling a TSN in markings and mouth. Will try to eat anything it can fit in his mouth (including a 6” Jack Dempsey tank mate). Unsure on age or sex.

3" & 6" Jack Dempsey- $5 OBO. beautiful, vividly colored Jack Dempsies. Both are actively taking pellets, shrimp pieces, night crawler pieces, and feeder fish. Had both since they were juveniles. Probable male and female, no breeding yet. They were just recently introduced to each other, normally housed in separate tanks until other tank mates became too aggressive with the smaller one.

All of the above fish have been housed together in a 150 gallon tank with sand substrate, minimal decorations, and a 40 gallon sump system filtration. I am also selling the tank but need to rehome the inhabitants first. Tank will include custom built stand (black) with 3 cabinet doors, all plumbing for sump system, glass lids, overflow boxes (3), 2 heaters, etc. Let me know if interested and I will send photos and can contact you when the inhabitants are sold.

PLEASE email me with any questions, or for pictures of the specific fish. All prices are OBO, but be realistic. Would prefer the Aro, Clown and Cat to go to experienced keepers, just for peace of mind (I guess anyone on this forum is already on their way to being an expereinced keeper). Thanks.
 
Everyone did read the Or Best Offer part, right? I'd really like these guys to go to a responsible fishkeeper. I was having nightmares about my Aro stuffed into a goldfish bowl! :)
 
Sorry if I am at fault for providing the image for your nightmares ;) Good luck finding homes for your fish.
 
Bderick- I almost attributed that image to you, but didn't want to sound like a d**k. I've just had too many people on Craigslist who either don't read the information about the fish I'm trying to rehome, or didn't look at the brief synopsis care sheet I provided. NO!!! An Aro cannot live in a 55 gallon tank with your Neon Tetra community. People are just frustrating!

Tengxiong - I've never shipped anything live, so I really wouldn't feel comfortable doing it. I'm sorry.
 
The Clown knife, TSN/RTC Hybrid Catfish and both Jacks have been sold. Arowana is still available. As soon as the last inhabitant has sold I'll put the Tank, Stand, Sump System, Overflow boxes (3) & all plumbing on here. I'll include pictures of all.
 
Will do. It's a great set up and will have everything included. My wife needs that wall for a wood burning stove, and I'm literally out of wall space.
 
Hey man,

How is the ray? I would love to get the arowana from you! You know I have the right setup for him! If you cant find him a home give me a call and I will rescue him!
