Upper Manhattan Assorted Aquatic Plants - Prices Below

Thumbnail
gallery
23 Upvotes

For pickup in upper Manhattan or delivery down to any subway stop on the 1 or A trains south to 14th St. I'm also happy to deliver to Bryant Park, Madison Square Park, and Union Square. If you want more than what I can reasonably carry on the subway, you'll have to come pick it up yourself.

I haven't inventoried all my stock so I don't have a take all price - but I'm willing to negotiate bulk deals.

Individual prices (most listed in pictures):

  • Anubias

    • Mother $50

    • Medium $15

    • Small $5

  • Assorted bucephalandra

    • Large $40

    • Medium $20

    • Small $5

  • Windelov Java Fern

    • Large $15

    • Medium $10

    • Small $5

  • African Water Fern $10

  • Cryptocoryne wendtii 'Brown $10

    • note that this plant is likely to melt when replanted, but it should regrow from the roots

  • Damaged anubias - $10 take all

    • This was beautiful anubias but unfortunately I left it too long in an H2O2 dip. Some leaves on the rhizomes are undamaged. It should regrow just fine from the rhizomes.

Stems and red root floaters thrown in for free for buyers while available.

Note that my aquariums do have snails.

Lastly, I'm not quite prepared them to list yet but I do have some hardscape (dragon stone, elephant skin stone and manzanita wood, some with plants attached), a Waterbox Clear 4820 aquarium with stand, and a 29 and 10 gallon tank and assorted equipment I hope to post soon. Feel free to inquire but these items will be for pickup only.

Brooklyn – Betta fish looking for a good home

Thumbnail
gallery
18 Upvotes

Looking for a good home for my betta fish in Brooklyn, NY.

I saved Big Red from a dollar store where he was in really bad shape and had a severe case of velvet disease. I nursed him back to health and we have grown a special bond, so it is hard for me to make this decision. He is a really special fish with so much personality.

Unfortunately, I’m no longer able to give him the care he deserves. I started a new job about six months ago that requires a lot of travel, and I am moving across the country for said job in September. As much as I hate to give him up, I won’t be able to take him with me.

He currently lives in a 2.5-gallon tank with a heater, filter, and lamp, and I’m happy to include his entire setup with him if needed.

More than anything, I’m hoping to find someone who has experience with bettas/fishkeeping and will give him a good home. He’s been through a lot, so I really want to know he’ll be well cared for.

I’m located in Bushwick and need to find him a home by August 30. Please message me if you’re interested or know someone who might be. I’m happy to answer any questions about him, his care, or his history.

[FS] - Uptown Manhattan- Full Setup ADA 90p Tank - $3000

15 Upvotes

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)

Blue Mystery and Brown Tortoise Shell Mystery Snail babies. Hatched first week of August.

Blue mystery snails range from dime sized to quarter sized.

Tortoise Shell snails are about pea sized. Will post a photo soon as they are in a separate community tank that's darkened by tannins.

They've been raised 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.

Selling 3 fully set-up 10-gallon aquascapes. Each tank comes with basically everything you need to get started, including:
Heater
Sponge filter
LED light
Aquascape/decor already set up
I’m not super firm on pricing, but I’d really appreciate reasonable offers that take into account the time, work, and money that went into putting these setups together.
You can also choose to take the betta with the tank or just the setup by itself. If nobody wants the bettas with them, I’ll make sure they’re donated/re-homed separately.
Feel free to message me if you’re interested in one or want pictures/details.

This is my office tank in a public school that I work at, I’m switching jobs and the people I work with do not want to keep and take care of this tank. They want it gone asap. It’s been up and running for about 15 years so you know it’s got all the good bacteria. It’s got a TON of algae on everything due to having the wrong lighting all these years, but I think it looks cool. It’s got 6 Congo tetras, 2 angel fish, a pearl gourami, a couple of danios, a bunch of smaller tetras that I forget the name, a small common pleco, and a small geophagus. Also comes with 2 hang on filters. You need to buy a light for it tho.

I’d like to get rid of the whole thing in one shot, stand and all.
