How to sell my CPD and Emeralds...

So I have about 10-12 cpd and about the same number of emerald greens but I want them out of my 55gallon. It's heavily planted with large driftwood and all they do is hide. That's it. They hide, they eat, they hide again. Tons of shrimp, snails and a few harlequin rasbora that stay out frontso I'm not sure why they are so shy, but after a year I've grown tired of rarely seeing them.

So, what would you recommend? Sell them on here or just turn them over to my lfs for store credit? I've never shipped fish so I could use an "item list" from someone who has before. Thanks!

I'd be interested in them, but I'm in Florida.

There behind the driftwood is where they stay all the time. Also that's my son holding a hardboiled egg

I am willing to ship, I just don't quite know what materials I need to ship them. I have no problem shipping to anyone willing to pay shipping costs. I'm thinking I'll sell them at half what I paid. So $3.50 each for the cpd and $2 for the emeralds.

I'll have to actually remove the driftwood to really count them. But that's my estimate. They are small fish and between the shrimp and assassin snails, they would be eaten quickly after dying.

Ok, once you find out more about shipping I'd probably do the emeralds, they are brochis splendens right?

It's ok not your fault, but in not so interested in those, I'm sure plenty of people would be

Once you figure out what materials you need, shipping carrier, rates, and are ready to sell, you should start a new thread in the classified section.
