Fish - Various

[FONT=&quot]Hey everyone.

Due to the massive amount of work I have over my head, and knowing that it's only going to get worse as the year goes on, I've decided to sell off quite a few of my fish in order to make my burden a little lighter... hopefully my plan will work.

I am only willing to sell to people living in the general Durban area. I'm not willing to ship and the buyer will have to pick up their fish. Please PM me only if you're an interested buyer. I will accept only cash offers.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Fish will only go to buyers who have 20 or more (non-spammed) posts.

The prices offered here are negotiable - I don't want to rip anybody off but I'm not willing to let go of these fish for much less than what they're worth.

Also, given sizes are approximate. I haven't netted the fish out to get precise lengths in order to avoid unnecessary stress.[/FONT]


Listed here are the first fish to go, the others will be sold off later on this same thread.



[FONT=&quot]Here are the first bunch:[/FONT]

Hi Salmon

What do your Africans currently feed on? may be interested in these if my new tank comes through.

What other fish are you selling apart from these as i'm looking to stock my soft water tank at the moment.

 

Good looking fish.
That mudskipper looks awesome. One day I will have a mudskipper tank ...

 

Right now they're on a staple diet of pellets and flakes, and are occasionally treated with frozen bloodworm. Every now and then I'll also manage to catch a fly and treat them with that as well.
In the past I also fed them crickets - the same kind you'll buy from the reptile department from your LPS.

Later I'll be selling some larger cyprinids, large-ish catfish and some other oddities, which might be right up your alley if you're into the bigger kinds of fish.

He's a really greedy fish! Often he'll eat so much that his stomach noticably bulges, and will still be begging for more!

 

Thanks Salmon, I've currently got two ABF and will give it a think if I want to add more... the largish catfish and oddities sound promising. keep me updated or maybe I can come by and have a look when you free

 

PM me, I'm normally at home on weekends.

 

Bump - and also the Mono really needs to go. The moray has actually started to swim to try and catch him. I don't have any other brackish tanks to move the Mono into, so he really needs to go quick. The price is negotiable.

 

Here's the rest. A lot of these fish do grow to fair sizes, so I do recommend that you seriously think about taking a fish before buying. All other fish are still for sale.

I would have loved the Clown knifes I have 2 of then and they are AWESOME but I don't know if they would survive the trip here... owell

 

Salmon I'm away on conference but will take the Hoplo's and the Hybrid Synodontis... I may take the other synodontis but need to chat to you about their specific needs and their compatibility with my current fish.

 

Hey Kiazer, if you want we may discuss it here so that other people may also know about the fish if they want to keep one too. What exactly do you need to know about them?

Hoplos and hybrid Synodontis sold to Kiazer then.

 

Thanks Salmon, i'm moving into my new flat this weekend so will be able to collect once the tank has settled... my questions relate to the fact that after doing research on the other syno species you have that they are seemingly not compatible with each other? is this the case or have you kept them in the same tank. i would also like to know the ph at which you kept your hoplo's and syno's so that i cant match them to suitable setups. thanks

 

Synodontis species, in general, don't always get on. In most cases I'd recommend only one species of Synodontis per tank, unless the tank is of a fairly large size. The Synodontis hybrid and Featherfin both live in the same tank (5x2x2 foot), and only rarely bother each otherm usually in the form of a short chase. They get on well with other fish.

The pH which the Hoplos and Synos live in is at about 6.0 - 6.5 (my test kit isn't precise).

Hey, just bumping it up here. All prices are very negociable, and I'm willing to give discounts to those who take multiple fish.

Hey guys

I hope this doesn't really count as a bump, but I got thinking. I'm dropping the prices of the following:

3x Convict Cichlids (1 breeding pair, 1 'spare' female) with free Firemouth cichlid - R90

Mudskipper - R90

Senegal bichirs - R100 and R140

Apollo Shark - R160

Silver sharks x 2 - R160 for the two

Hoplo Catfish - R140 for the two

Half Banded Spiny eels - R100 for the two

Cheers

 

Hi Salmon

Apologies for the late return.... the tanks up and running so I could I come by one of these week nights and pick up the Hoplo's.

Thanks

 

Cool K, just drop me a PM with a time and date so we can organize.

 

Will do once I manage to organise myself doe the week!

 

Hoplo's taken by Kiazer, off to a happy new home. Take good care of 'em

 

Thanks Salmon, they've settled well and are already eating everything that lands on the tank floor!

Awesome tanks btw, love the brackish tank
