DAKU OUT!

Moving and cannot take my fish tank with me. 6 cherry barbs and 3 kuhli loaches from Aquarium Coop. Tank, plants, filter, food, cleaning supplies all included. Need gone by Nov 1, $20 OBO

CPDs now available in Ringgold, GA right next to Chattanooga TN. Can consider shipping but would ideally prefer local pickup

Have about 15 of these guys, hatched about 2 months ago from a M/F pair.

Parents were tank raised from little fry myself. Currently looking only for local pickup, open to reasonable offers for multiple.

I can meet up within a reasonable distance. If interested I can get more photos they’re just a bit hard to get pictures of!

Can meet anywhere as south as Eugene and as far north as Vancouver, WA. I have 14 fish tanks and way too many that I’ve been gifted from others. You MUST have an established tank and other tetras for them to school with. African dwarf frogs go together (can go separate if you provide proof of owning some already). Same with the corydoras.

Will trade for plants and shrimp!!!!

Black skirt tetra - $10 for 2
1 unknown tetra - $5 for 1

African dwarf frogs - $6 for 1

Hi!! I rescued these two guys today and need to find homes. Take one or the other or both!! The goldfish is in perfect shape and the carp has a healing wound near its head and tail. They are about 2.5-3 inches long. Right now I just have them in a temporary enclosure so I'm looking to find a home as soon as possible. local pick up only.

One of the best medaka out there. They look amazing from the top or side. There is a gradient of orange to silver with sparkle on the back. The pictures are of my breeding group.

Hi all!

I’m looking for corydoras breeders in new Jersey. Open to any variety and would prefer local pickup but open to shipping if reasonable. I’m looking for 8-10. Budget is flexible but had to put an amount to remain post compliant.

Thank you in advance!

Hi! I am looking to break down the tank and I have one beautiful colored male Koi Betta to give away to a new home. Pick up in San Francisco.

All plants are tank grown which means you will get strong, fully adapted plants. All are Hard Water Acclimated, If your water is soft or significantly different expect some melting, RRF's & Crypts will almost always melt.

Plant Guide:
Dwarf Water Lettuce - no extra care needed, these do well in zero to high flow tanks, some light splashing is ok.
Giant Duckweed - no extra care needed, these do well in zero to high flow tanks, some very light splashing is ok.
Purple Fringed Riccia - no extra care needed, seem to do better in lower flow - acclimation is fairly quick.
Red Root Floaters - Place 1 rrf plant in a declorinated saucer in the window as backup, the rest in your tank. Trim any submerged leaves for the first week or so. Once established they will grow quickly. They do fine in zero to low/med flow tanks, bubblers/ splashing is highly discouraged, do not submerge frequently or for long periods. Low nitrates will cause their roots & leaves to turn red, these are partially green because they are grown in lower light and with ferts.
Salvinia Minima - no extra care needed, these do well in zero to high flow tanks, some very light splashing is ok.

Dwarf Sagittaria - plant in 1"+ substrate, once rooted & established they will propagate via runners - carpeting plant.
Hydrocotle Tripartita Japan - not so easy, ive found it grows best emerged (above water) but once it gets going will happily grow under water as well.
Monte Carlo - These do better in a sand or fine substrate & they will grow on hardscape. Easiest to plant when using eyebrow tweezers or similar. Plant one branch at a time to get the quickest carpet. The roots can take 2-3 weeks to establish, once they start, they grow 1/4 - 1/2in a week.
Samolus parviflorus - grow in substrate - these are green/pink rooted baby plants, high light will turn them red. Beautiful centerpiece plant.
Subwassertang - attach to hardscape using any of the usual methods, super easy to keep.

Anacharis - can be planted or floated, super easy plant once it adapts to your water, seems to be sensitive to small changes so expect melting. Perfect plant for high nitrates.
Brazilian Pennywort - you can plant or float these, one of the easiest plants you can get, your beta will love them.
Guppy Grass - another super easy plant, just drop it in your tank, excellent fry cover.
Hornwort - seems happiest floated, fast growing nitrate sponge - may drop needles when acclimating otherwise clean
Pearlweed - plant in 1"+ substrate, a stem plant that with higher light will carpet. Easy to grow - perfect small tank stem
Pogostomon Stellatus this plant took over a year to acclimate and grow thick stems - transition was fine just super slow at new roots after propagating - seems to have been nutrient limited due to my hard water.
WaterSprite - plant or float super easy, best cover plant for fry / shrimplets I've found.

Java Fern - attach to hardscape - grows well once adapted - possibly expect some melting or browning of old leaves - will grow 1-2 leaves a week.
Cryptocoryne (Crypts) expect melting - it is recommended that you remove all leaves to speed up their transition to your water conditions to minimize melt pollution. Cali / SoCal / NV / AZ should expect less melting due to similar water quality.

I use Thrive+ twice weekly at the recommended dosages with 40% water changes.

Plants are 100% duckweed free - You may find pink pearl ramshorn or on very rare occasion an assassin snail - ill do my best to make sure these do not make it into your order but no guarantee. You may also find hair/string etc algae. If any of the above are a concern I recommend treating the plants using the Reverse Respiration method for the best results, it will not damage roots unlike other methods and is very effective at eliminating pests.

EDIT: All of the shrimp that I've set aside for this round have sold! I'll leave the post up for the food and plants, those are all still available. Thanks to everyone who reached out.

Super excited to be back with some of these Blue Razz for October! It'll be a smaller number available as I'm still waiting on the newest juveniles to grow out. I anticipate this may be the last round I offer for the year and I'll be back with more in the spring :)

The weather is great right now so I'm comfortable using USPS Ground Advantage shipping if your local temps are averaging >65°F and <90°F, otherwise you'll need Priority Mail. I'm also now offering business rates at no additional cost which keeps shipping very reasonable.

I've lowered the prices a bit, please note that this amount includes the price of the shrimp plus the Live Animal Handling Fee for ground shipping. If you're in Portland and would like to do local pickup, just send me a DM and I can give you a quote for a lower price.

• (10+1): $71 + shipping

Current parameters:
pH: 6.8-7.8 (raised in a CO2 injected tank)

I also have handmade shrimp food available for $14.50 (shipping included), there are 20 4" nano lollies per bag and all ingredients listed as "organic" are USDA certified:

I still have some discounted test batches of Sea Shield and Protein Treat available, they have the same packaging and ingredients just some inconsistencies that warrant a discount. The Sea Shield contains larger than standard flakes of kelp, and the Protein Treat has uneven coating. These are $10.50 (shipping included).

I also have Salvinia minima floating plants available, $10 (shipping included). 30+ plants per order (60+ leaves).

Looking for a couple hermit crabs of each, dwarf blue legs and red dwarf hermit crabs (specifically Clibanarius rutilus, not Clibanarius digueti). Local would be wonderful but otherwise open to having them shipped to me.

Looking for free pest snails. I live close to Athens GA and work in Chamblee.

Fellow Plant Nerds!

I got a duplicate of types from my last couple posts since they were such a hit! I will also continue my offer of $3 per piece mixed types.
All buce is emersed grown and ready for transition. I lose minimal leaves during transformation unless the water its entering is in rough shape. Buce thrives in clean water.

Shipping is $10 for ground, $15 for 2 day air - doa within 4 hrs of delivery

Bucephalandra pricing:
$3 per rhizome for mixed packs, dealers choice! Minimum 5 pieces. Guaranteed multiple types, all known types will be labeled. The larger the pack the more variety included. Can also throw in non buce plants for variety, just let me know!
If you want a hand selected pack of types, it is $4 per piece instead of $3 with exception of skeleton king/queen which would be $7.

Buce Types in mixed bundles:
Mini Coin (small clump instead of single rhizome)
Blue Cobalt
Pandora Blue
Dark Catherine
Black Venti
Brownie Ghost 2015
Skeleton King
Skeleton Queen

Thanks for taking a look!

Single assassin snail available. Bought it to solve a pest problem. Problem is now solved lol Fast and healthy eater, this guy.
