Time to downsize fish sale thread!

[ReefCheif]

Well, the time has come. The new 75 gallon tank and stand come Sunday and ive started the break down of the 180 so its time to get the fish up for sale. Below is a list of what Im getting rid of, all my fish are very healthy, very active and all have been 100% REEF SAFE.

6" Pink Tail Trigger - $60 she is the show of the tank, ALOT of personality, I really wish I could keep her
3 PJ Cardinal - $25 for the trio - pretty sure its one male and 2 females, they do breed sometimes, male holds the eggs - BryanF
4 Chromis - MURALREEF
2 Yellow Tangs - $20ea (id call them medium)
Sailfin Tang - $25 (small) - FITZ
Mated Pair Of Tomato Clowns (might be cinnamon??) - $60 (female is 3.5", male 2", spawn every 2 weeks or so)
6 Line Wrasse - $25 hes about 4.5", bit of fin damage as he cant learn to stay away from the clowns, not a bully at all
Male Banana Wrasse - $40 hes about 6" - does not bother inverts, will eat snails if not fed!!!
Lunar Wrasse - $45 maybe 3-4", one of my faviorites, sad to see him go
Red Lip Blenny - $20 probably 3-4" - FITZ

Some of you know my stock list, if i didnt list it aint for sale! LOL

All my coral will be out of the tank tomorrow night (Saturday), which means fish can be picked up starting Sunday afternoon sometime. Starting Sunday rock will be removed and ALL fish will be transfered to my smaller holding tanks by Sunday night. I would love to have all these guys gone as soon as possible to reduce the amount of stress and avoid any possible casualties.

I will be available Sunday and Monday. I have bags for the smaller fish, bring a bucket for the bigger ones. Please PM me if interested. I will then take names in order of who asks first, if #1 doesnt show then Ill call #2. I dont have time to play games or hold things, I need solid commitments.

Thanks,
Josh

BUMP, Im not set on the prices, I will entertain offers and trades

You had the banana wrasse and pink tail trigger in your reef? Do you have clams?

 

[ReefCheif]

Yessir, both in my reef. I did have clams, 5 of them at one time, neither of these ever bothered them. I dont like clams too much, the ex did, so as ssoon as she was gone, so were the clams!!! Neither the trigger nor the bannana wrasse have ever given me any problems regarding clams or inverts.

The trigger is not your typical trigger. She is not aggressive by any means, she does not dig (as long as she has a cave to sleep in), she does not spit water. She eats silversides from my hand, probably my faviortie fish, really hate to see her go.

The Bannana wrasse has also been completly reef safe as long as he is kept fed. He will eat snail if he gets hungary, but has never touched any of my shrimp or crabs or bothered any of my other wrasses or fish.

Has the trigger had small fish like damsels/dottyback/mandarin in the tank with it?

Probably a problem if I leave my small mantis in too.

 

[ReefCheif]

I have a small pair of clown, roughly 1.5" - 2", I have a pair of dragonettes, I have a pair of sunrise dotty backs that I wont at ReefFest, never bothered any of them.

 

[Fitz19d]

Mantis might be tasty, as opposed to hard shelled stuff. Did you have any kind of shrimp (skunk/coral banded) ?
.

 

[ReefCheif]

I have a pair of coral banded shrimp, theyve been in there just as long as the trigger, I have 2 cleaner shrimp. Ive seen the trigger letting the cleaners clean her mouth and gills before.

 

[MuralReef]

I'll take the blenny too.

 

[MuralReef]

Never mind Fitz got it first!

 

[ReefCheif]

Ill put you for up for second in line. When do you want to get the chromis?

 

[MuralReef]

How soon do you need them out?

 

[ReefCheif]

ASAP, tank is being broke down tomorrow and Ill be putting all fish in temporary tanks, the longer they are there the more chance for issues. Im available Sunday afternoon and all day Monday, anytime the rest of the week in the evening.

 

[Fitz19d]

If anyones interested in the trigger, to clarify per PM's. I'm taking his sailfin and blenny. I am thinking about the trigger though so go get it before I chance it in my reef.

 

[ReefCheif]

Post edited, but Im telling you, if you keep her fed you wont have any problems, and even when Ive let her get hungary, all she doea is swims aimlessly around the tank, she reminds me of Dory, but in a triggers body! LOL, but I understand your concerns.

 

[ReefCheif]

Alright, Im not getting much response so these are going on Craigslist, time is of the essence. What ever is not gone by tomorrow night will be going to Elite Reef on Tuesday

 

[BryanF]

Fish are doing great! Thanks josh

 

[ReefCheif]

Fish are doing great! Thanks josh

Glad to hear it.

Also, I still have the bannana wrasse, 6 line and mated tomato pair if any one is interested, if not they go to Elite tonight.

 

[fiji4118]

Wish I had seen this earlier. Would have taken the trigger and the banana wrasse!

 

[Fitz19d]

Call him, they may still be around. Or failing that can go buy them from Elite
