  • Might be selling 99% of my fish and tanks...

    Now that I have graduated - go me...

    And my jerk of a bf moved out the weekend I was out of state graduating (grrrr)

    I am looking at job options. All along I was considering moving back to New England, but now I have no money to move, because I can't really afford the lease on my own. Originally we were both looking at moving together, and sharing the finances.

    Now I am on my own, about to run out of contract July 1, and needing to find a new job and a new place to live. If I go home to New England, I might be very limited in what i can afford to bring with me.

    I might stay here another year, but would rather not, as I miss my family and friends there.

    So if I move I will be selling all of my tanks, plants, fish and most of my inverts because I will have to live at home with my parents and there is no room to set up anything bigger than a 10 gallon.

    I am trying to see what kind of interest there might be out there...

    At the very least, I am looking to downsize anyways.

        I might be interested in the 75 and some of the fish depending on the price.

                Both, wanted to see what the price difference was. I am mainly interested in the java moss, anubias and java fern. And regarding the shrimp, I was interested in the cherry shrimp. I am currently setting up a 20 gallon planted tank and thought the cherry shrimp would look great.

                        Nick - no idea - got it from Dan - it was a tagalong on an order. It is clearish bluish in color and hangs out in the sand at the bottom of the tank. Loves bloodworms. That is the extent of my knowledge. It is adorable.

                          Everyone interested in fish - make me an offer. I am trying to move back home.

                          Too much has been happening for me to think clearly about prices. The colors are gorgeous, they are very healthy.

                          Also, I have closer to 30 threadfins. Lots of males and females.

                          addition to plant list - huge bushes of baby tears, some amazon swords, lots of subwassertang.

                          3 moss balls - the real kind,marimo balls? I think that is what they are called...
                          one of them is huge and looks to be about to divide.

                          I have several nice pieces of driftwood or african wood with java moss, xmass moss or anubias attached.

                          I have 1 really nice one covered in flame moss - looks kind of like a tree.

                          I will try to start taking pics.

                            AS for the eheim, I am going to try to hold on to it and the lights so when I move I can get set up again, without spending a fortune.

                            I will let the Magnum 350 go for 30.00.
