~15+ African Cichlids all sizes, at least 1 breeding pair & 55 Gallon Setup-SoCal
Putting together a new reef tank and I want to take down some of my other tanks, the first one to come down is going to be my African Cichlids tank.
I'm willing to sell all together or part out but if parting out I need to sell the livestock first.
$1/each African Cichlids range in size from half inch to about 4 or 5 inches.
$50 - Tank - 55 Gallons - 48" long not sure on depth and width( I think 12 wide and 21 high, but I'll measure and take some pictures when I get home.)
$20 - Lights - 48" Corallife Freshwater T5 Fixture
$100 - Filter - Eheim 2026 & 1 extra of each pad.
$30 - 30 Cichlid Stones
$1/each - Plastic plants
$15 - Eheim Jager TruTemp 150 Watt Fully Submersible Heater
$200 takes it all including the fish.

How much would the light fixture be to 91744?
Also what is your stock list?

They're mostly mbuna, I'm not sure on their exact species or names, but I'll try my best to identify them for you as many as I can.
Going off of the species chart here
1 x L. caeruleus
1 x M. auratus
1 x M. estherae
Different source:
2 x 2 x Gephyrochromis acei
1 x Pseudotropheus zebra "cobalt blue"
I can take some pictures when I get home if you'd like? Might not be home until Monday though.

I'd probably be able to ship them or have an LFS do it as long as you're willing to pay for the shipping costs.

I'd take the cichlid stones if you're willing to part out and ship.

More than willing, I'll keep you in mind as I begin to tear down the tank.

Sounds good to me, I'd be more than happy to ship them to you. I'll post some pictures and if there are any you're interested in let me know and I'll get a quote on shipping from an LFS.

I just got off the phone w/ my LFS and they were saying it would depend on how many boxes(fish) you wanted but it broke down to about $50/box and he said 20 fish was about 2 boxes. I can check with the other LFS and see if any of them can give a better price.

You can't ask USPS?

I can check with USPS, but would need to get packing materials etc and haven't packed/shipped myself before.

That's about an hour drive each way and something like 42 miles each way. My work reimburses me for my mileage at the federal rate of $0.51 x 84 = $42.81 and that's just mileage not my time and I work for about double that an hour. If you'd like to pick them up you're more than welcome to, but I don't really think me delivering it would be cheaper.

I can definitely use them, I have 11 tanks from 40 to 220 gallons mostly stocked with cichlids and pleco's that can use more cover.
