Tropical Tank and Fish to be Given Away

Hi All,
I am immigrating mid- July and unfortunately need to find a good home for my tropical fish. Not looking for any payment, just the assurance that they will be properly cared for by someone experienced after I leave. The tank has been running for the last 3-4 years with the last fish addition around 6 months ago.

Apologies for not posting this on the Classifieds thread, but I do not have sufficient posts, however would like to think that as all fish and equipment offered is for free, the moderators could be lenient. As I'm quite keen for a good aquarist to care for my fish, am hesitant to use Gumtree.

Would prefer to send all fish & tank & equipment to single person, but can discuss if only one tank + fish wanted. For collection from my house in Fourways Johannesburg.

Fish in Tank 1:
1) One Black Ghost knife tail (approx. 25cm)
2) One Kribensis
3) Two Hillstream loaches
4) Two Zebra loaches
5) Three glass catfish
6) Two Butterfly fish
7) Six black widows
8) Six tetras (not sure of their official name)
9) Two Pearl Gourami's
10) Two ?? roughly 10cm (see photo, not too sure of their name), but awesome fish none the less.
11) One panda corey

Tank1 Equipment
1) Tank is 1.5m long (approx. 500L) with curved glass and base cupboard frame to suit.
2) Cascade 1200 canister filter
3) Two heaters (100w I think each)
4) Air pump and piping
5) River gravel
6) Lighting system including timer. Two tubes used are getting old and need replacement. Although they work, I believe the light frequency range is dropping
10) Assorted plants which seem to enjoy the tank. See pictures, I'm not too clued up on names.
11) A pile of wood fitting into approx. one and a half 20L buckets. The wood has been submersed in water in some cases for 10 years, but the latest pieces were obtained when I set up this particular tank. All leaching has now finished, so water will not get brown if this is used.
12) Assorted fertilisers and odds/ends.
All photos posted are of Tank 1

Tank 2
1) Multiple guppies (hundreds) and shrimp (red and see-though)
2) Assorted plants
3) Air pump and air bubble filtration
4) Lighting system including timer switch
5) The tank + metal stand is old and not suitable for display/lounge purposes, but great as breeding tank etc. Roughly 800*600*600 square tank with silicon sealed sides
6) One 100w heater

Tank 3
1) My very fist 60L tank. Square sides with silicon
2) Pumped filter with assorted guppies
3) Lighting system + heater

Tank 4
1) Tank not in use. Size is roughly 500L. Requires central glass bracing to be replaced, but otherwise fine. Square sided silicon sealed tank.

I'm in Fourways, Johannesburg.
Would prefer to send the full tank on as a going system, rather than breaking it up piece-meal

Hi Charles

Would you be willing to let go of just tank 4? If so, please post some dimensions and photos (if possible)

Thanks

Thanks

 

Hallo.
Sjo - give away....
really feel bad just to gooi dips on it...

But will love to take tank 2...

 

Oh - sorry - I see someone else had faster fingers than me.. on tank 2. ;-)

If @Breado doesn't want it anymore, or can't arrange for pickup - I'll take second dips on it..

 

Hi There,

First time in a while I see someone care more about their livestock than a quick buck.

I would be interested in tank 3 please bud.

Regards
Kogan

 

Could I maybe have the hillstream loaches, if you dont want them

 

That unknown fish in the first pick is an African Leaf Fish (Ctenopoma acutirostre.)
It is also known as a Spotted Perch, Climbing Perch, Leopard Gourami and about a dozen other names.

I would love some of your plants, driftwood and whatever you have left after everyone else has taken what they want.

 

@Charles Helfer
Hi, I'd be keen on taking the lot. Pm if it's available to arrange.
Thanks
