*They found a new home* Free: 2 Oscars and 2 Plecostomus

[John]

*Edit*

If you are interested let me know. I want to convert the tank to salt water.

The Oscars are very personable and get along with each other very well. I think the tank I have them in is too small, it's a 40 gal. I have had them all for about a year and I bought them when they were the size they are now.

My phone number is 713-269-0764 or just e-mail me.

Re: FS: 2 Oscars and 2 Plecostomus

I do not know what the HAS auction is.

Give me some more info. Sounds interesting.

Re: FS: 2 Oscars and 2 Plecostomus

The Houston Aquarium Society hosts a auction (each quarter) where anyone can sell or buy fish, used equipment, and related goodies (rocks, driftwood, fishfood & chemicals)

So they keep 25% of the final sell price and charge $5 to bid on anything? :eh:

I might have to check it out. There is no date posted yet.

Re: FS: 2 Oscars and 2 Plecostomus

Well I have been looking for an excuse to go to Galveston and this looks like a good one! Make me an offer and I will deliver them to you. I will be out of town next weekend so it will most likely be the weekend of the 15th if the weather is good.

Re: FS: 2 Oscars and 2 Plecostomus

$20 seems like a fair price for the fish but I don't think it will cover your gas for the trip.

[John]

Re: FS: 2 Oscars and 2 Plecostomus

That's what I was thinking, but I have really been wanting to get down to Galveston.

When it comes down to it, I want the fish to have a good new home where someone will really enjoy them!!

Just curious, what sized tank will you put them in?

Re: FS: 2 Oscars and 2 Plecostomus

When my daughter was in High School she raised a couple of Oscars.
One tiger, one albino tiger - she started in a 29 but when they got bigger we moved them to a 75.  They were happy there.  They layed eggs all the time.  Unfortunately they both layed eggs  

I have a Oceanic 68 (tall 55) in my living room that would become their new home.

Re: FS: 2 Oscars and 2 Plecostomus

These have not laid any eggs. Sounds like they would enjoy the extra room. I will keep in touch.

[John]

Re: FS: 2 Oscars and 2 Plecostomus

Well I don't think I will be making it down to that area any time soon. So If you want to come get them I will just give them to you. Let me know. If not the offer is open to anyone.

Howdy John,

PhisPhreek (Bob) lives not to far from me and I have a trip to Austin on May 10th and drive back the 11th.  I could bring the oscars back for him and I am interested in the two plecos.  Let me know if this would work for all?  If Semper gets them before us that is cool.   later, ken
