Well I thought to start a thread to show my fish scores and various aquaria related things I come across that are either a sweet deal or just plain hard to get.

So yesterday I get a respond phone call to my 3 emails I sent to a person who had this add saying 100 cichlids $2/ coming from his 230g.

Now as I figure it this guy is prolly shutting down his set up so I have to ask him about the tank. Well I was the 2nd person he allowed to come to his house. I wish I was the first because there was in his words a killer fish 10 inches long some type of african that the first dude took. Well better 2nd than not at all.

I cut a deal with him for all his fish from his 100g, and the 230g and then I cut a deal for both of the tanks. He gave me a bunch of birchardi and some plecs. I thought I would take pics of the fish and post them here for your thoughts, they were $2/fish ($5/ for the fronts). He also sold me an old school 30g metal rimmed tank for $5 and a massive amount of plants for $5. so here are the pics

Nice pick ups....It's all what you consider a good deal to be. I don't think I run into many, but I sure throw a lot of sick deals out there from time to time.

well ya know when you get an important fish number you need write it as soon as possible on the first surface
 
Nice! I usually get deals, but not that nice. For example, I wanted to get a gibbiceps pleco, but the only ones I've seen for sale recently are under 3" so it would take a pretty long time for one to grow to be safe with my oscar and other fish, but I just mentioned it to someone at work, and he happened to have 2 6" gibbys that he'll give me for free. He also has a 12+" common, but I'm not sure if I really want that one or not
