Anyone interested in these fishies?

[eklikewhoa]

I Will probably have to either move these guys to a new tank or move them onto someone else.....

5 F1 Opthalmotilapia Nasuta Chimba Tiger....From the looks of it there was 2m/4f but one of the males didn't make it through the squabbles.....looking to break somewhat even on these...$100...plumped up really well on NLS

5 F? Buffalo head cichlids which I got from dblondefemme.....there is one gorgeous male which I have named the "Mini-Tankbuster" cause he has a massive dome on him...also has some really sweet finnage. The others are still kinda small to tell what they are. $30.....also well fed with NLS

140 Neothauma shells.....$2.00ea...min..10per....bulk discounts will be evaluated on amount.

1 adult male Bristlenose Pleco...$13


Just checking interest right now for the above since I am not 100% positive yet if these will need to be moved.

Trades interested in....

Very large Brown smooth boulders....large as in about 2'x1' or the size of a decent watermelon.
Oceanic 30g cube stand in cherry
30-40lbs of fiji live rock or something as nice
Some nice lighting...either 2x36" fixtures or one 48" needs to be either 10k or 6700k bulbs....either PC or T5

Re: Anyone interested in these fishies?

How large are the 5 F1 Opthalmotilapia Nasuta Chimba Tiger at this point?  Where did you get them if someone were to add another male?  I'm working on getting another tank set up and could pay you for them but not pick them up for atleast a few weeks.  I would be very interested in those guys and a good number of the shells as well.

Keep us posted.

Re: Anyone interested in these fishies?

The O.Nasutas came from Charles when he was at Fish RanchII....I saw that Dave from Dave's Rare fish had some in stock at the time I got mine and IIRC Charles and Dave split an order. They are about 4" right now and I will say that the second male was lost through battle....and that's in my 6' tank.

Re: Anyone interested in these fishies?

Found a pic of them through Google and if the male that you have looks anything like the pic I found, I would definitely be interested.

Re: Anyone interested in these fishies?

These are still young so they have not colored up like they are suppose to be like as adults....the male is barely starting to get the dark finnage.

Re: Anyone interested in these fishies?

Sent you a PM.

Re: Anyone interested in these fishies?

Here is how the male is starting to look like....females the same but with less brown spots...



Price drop on these cause I forgot to feed my Mobas and they made a quick snack out of one of the females....price now $75 1m/3f

For the Ophthalmotilapia Nasuta Chimba Tiger they are found specifically near Moliro, Lake Tanganyika, Congo.

Discounts for those who will take everything and make life simpler for me!

Re: Anyone interested in these fishies?

Bump.

1m2f nasutas left......witnessed the wc moba tagging the others yesterday....kinda cool to see it act so wild but in the same sense not so cool cause I paid some good money for them.

Also 1 less buffalo head which fell ill to the hands of the massive dominant male buffalo head in there.


If some one has some large/x-large smooth brown boulders I will trade!!!!! I will offer the 3 nasutas for 2 large rocks! at least 2-3ft tall! If the Nasutas are not what you want please let me know what it is cause I want some of these rocks by this weekend!!!

Re: Anyone interested in these fishies?

you'd probably be better off searching through various landscape yards to find boulder at that size.
