[Beej1254]

Ok. Not craigslist. But wow.
I won't post a link because it has people's names. But here's a description

"ANYONE LOOKING FOR A TEN GALLON FISH TANK WITH ALL EQUIPMENT AND FISH INCLUDED?"

"1 gold fish, 1 pink and white koi, 1 molly, 1 algae eater. All fish are healthy and get along"

"I payed around 150 for everything. Im asking 75 or best offer"

That guy is lucky there isn't a humane society chapter for fish.

 

[Beej1254]

Yeah seriously. You should see how badly he's trying to get people to buy. And how many people are interested....

They look like Red Devils or something similar

Money Can't Buy Happiness, But It Can Buy Fish Which Is Pretty Much The Same Thing

The text of the ad was pretty brief, and I don't think it specified, but I hope that's the case: that would make sense! That seems like an important detail to include, though. Hopefully, someone bought it, with the plan of selling off them off or moving them to other tanks soon!

There's been a guy trying to sell breeding colonies for a year or so. Hopefully. That many adult plecs in a 30 would be poop soup

There was a picture: I couldn't really tell what was going on, but they did look small. But even 60 juveniles in a 30 gal seems like a lot, even temporarily. But then again, I don't know much about plecos: I've never really understood their appeal.

As a display tank it would be awefully stocked, as a breeder receiving frequent wc's, it's not all that uncommon.

My family friend told me about this ad she saw a few years back. It was an ad for "30+ Oscar's Fish in 55 Gallon Acariumm"
There were some young oscars, but also FANCY GOLDFISH and GUPPIES in the aquarium. GUPPIES.

"Water is jungle-theme red and dark"

Really hoped this was just a joke until she showed me a picture on her camera.

No idea how any of the fish were alive...

Maybe the goldfish and guppies were feeders for the Oscars? Still crazy, though!

This one is a 29G tank with 16 decent size fancy GF for $150.00

29 gal fish tank full set up
