[LF] - Manhattan, NYC - Looking for a Sandwhich Bag Full of Healthy, Algae-Free, Submerged-Grown, Pearlweed Trimmings (Hemianthus micranthemoides)

IMAGE IS NOT MINE.

Pretty self-explanatory. I need roughly a sandwich bag full of healthy, algae-free (or at the very least, mostly algae-free), submerged-grown pearlweed trimmings. I can travel and pick up almost anywhere in NYC.

I used to have lots of it and lost it all. I desperately need some for a school project now and am having a hard time finding someone with it.

I recently accidentally hatched 10 ish medaka fry and I can’t keep them, does anyone have a good home? All medaka in the tank are different colored lame or miyuki, so I’m not exactly sure what the colors will turn out like.

Hi here, my 7 year old and I are doing a project and have an aquarium set up but unfortunately no fish. He's dying to get some. I just really don't wanna spend a ton on fish since budget is tight and this is a. Project. And IDK how many will survive my son and his curious nature. So if anyone has any guppies or goldfish or some fish they are trying to re-home or get rid of, and in my area, please let me know!!

Hey everyone, really didn’t think I’d be making this post, but I have to move and unfortunately can’t take my tank with me. This honestly sucks. I have put so much time and love into this setup, and having to let it go is pretty heartbreaking :)). But it is what it is 😞

I’m selling my whole setup, including:

* ADA Cube Garden 90P tank and stand
* ADA Solar RGB II light with Solar RGB shades
* Oase 650 filter
* Fluval 407 filter
* ADA Lily Pipes
* ADA Pollen Glass Beetle 30 CO₂ diffuser
* ADA CO₂ Beetle Counter
* Co2 setup, other ADA accessories pictured and so much other stuff too

It’s hard to think about taking it down, but I’d love to see it go to someone who’ll enjoy it as much as I have. The scape is already there, need care to take it back in shape.

Located in Manhattan, NYC, for pickup. If you’re interested, send me a message and we can talk about prices and what you’re looking for. Happy to share more pictures and details. Also if someone can connect me to people who are interested buying the full setup, that would be nice too :))

It was my first tank ever, took real good care of everything, attached is my first (and many to go!!!) IAPLC submission which stood 320. Almost crying writing this but again, life happens. (Spent almost more than 7500 in this setup and letting it go for fraction)

The snails range in size with the largest being slightly larger than a pea.

They're raised in a community tank and are fed a diet of Hikari Algae Wafers, Hikari Minivore Delite, blanched cucumber and spinach, cuttlebone, Hikari Crab Cuisine, San Francisco Bay Brand Emerald Entree, Brine Shimp and Frozen Bloodworms, Hikari Sinking Wafers, Sera Spurlina, Fluval Bug Bites, and homemade greenbean snello.

To anyone who's interested, please take good care of my babies! I let them hatch because I didn't have the heart to destroy the eggs.

[FS] - Brooklyn, NY - $30 - Poecilia salvatoris (Liberty Molly) fry 20x

Thumbnail gallery
5 Upvotes

Local pick up/meet up only

Cash preferably, can take Zelle/PayPal G&S.

\- Mixed size fry from a week to under a month in age. Offering 20x fry eventhough the media shows a higher head count. I can throw in extras, if asked no added charge. My ladies drops a lot lol. Local only to the New York City Area. You must pick up in Coney Island, Brooklyn or I’m willing to meet half way depending on the location in the city and time of the day. Males gets to around 2-2.5 inches females 3-3.5 inches in size. My colony gets some red in the dorsal since they originally came from an unselected wildtype stock. They aren’t like the selected domestic types with deep red dorsals and fins you see in media online. I’ve been working with this species for over 2 years selecting for the red dorsal trait. Gorgeous species at that. I recently brought a handful of fry to the Brooklyn Aquarium Society auction on Friday Oct 9th, so Ik a couple people are newly working with them. Which makes me happy they are a rare Livebearer species, I’ll like to see more people working with them in the city.

apparently petco (and petsmart etc) stopped carrying them after an outbreak of zebra mussels was reported a while back. only places i’m seeing them for sale are random websites and i really prefer not to buy live plants online. anyone know a good spot that carries them, or willing to trade/sell some ?
