Fish for sale - large tanks only!

[untamed]

I need to sell Freckles, Lance and Moe...my Naso tangs.

Freckles is N. Vlamingi. He is approx 18”-20” long. Longer if you include his tail streamers.

Lance is N. Unicornis. He is just slightly smaller...maybe 16”-18”...again not including tail streamers.

Moe is N. Elegans (aka blonde naso), He is the smallest at 8”-10”. He is spectacular...just saying.

All are very, VERY friendly fish. They get along well with all other fish and genuinely like people.

I’m very sad to let them go as I’ve kept them all since they were minnows (15yrs).

Open to offers because tank size really limits the market for these guys.

Sorry to hear Brad, watched these guys grow up with you! Wish I had a monster tank!

I didn’t ever think my 80x36 tank would be “not even close” to enough 🤣

My tank is only 72” x 48”. Quite comparable. How much rock/coral is in there can also have a big impact on how much space there really is.

I have received a few inquiries, particularly involving the smallest blonde Naso. Many of the replies do not make me an offer so they are taking themselves out of the process by doing so.

If you are interested, tell me a bit about your tank...size...how long it has been running... and make an offer for the fish you want. I will duly consider everyone’s offers.

Thanks,
Brad

I have a 108x36x72 they could go in. Just gotta get em to Calgary is all

Its so hard for buyers when sellers do this. so hard to make a offer and know if its ok to the buyer or offensive. most times people say make me a offer then get offended when people do

[untamed]

I have not been offended by any offer received so far.

The bottom line is that I’m prepared to let them go more inexpensively... to a good home.

We all know what these fish are worth if you were to buy them from a dealer. In fact, the two largest ones are simply something that cannot be purchased from a store.

Blonde naso is spoken for. Still looking for a home for the two large nasos...the Vlamingi and the unicorn.

Its pretty easy to read between the lines. Brad is more worried about getting the fish into the right tank than he is making any money off them.

My guess is the right person with the right tank came along, that would be more important than how many dollars he was paying.

[Torontotraders]

Definitely right Ryan....Having visited Brad and family a while back a few times for some purchases; I would have to say, he cares tremendously about his (part of the family) pets - This is definitely the case!

You can see the care and love he has invoked, being reflected in the eyes of his fish - He is NOT worried about funds! This man cares about where and how his pets are housed. It's interesting that we may ask for an offer, but it's not the amount of the offer that counts, it's the value of the offer that counts....

[untamed]

Thank you for the kind words.

Yes, I’m not concerned with how much money I can get for the two large nasos. They just need a home. The smaller fish were really easy to move. (I have a fat yellow tang available still)

So spread the word to anyone with a really big display. Freckles and Lance need a home.

Vancouver Aquarium turned me down. Oddly, they said that it was hard to introduce Acanthurus tangs into their displays... an answer that makes no sense. They just heard “tang”

I’m going to approach JL to see if they want to sell them. Not sure if their tank is large enough but it is better than a meat cleaver..

Too expensive to ship them to Tahiti. Water just weighs too much!

Maybe see if that raf guy at aquatic escapes knows of any clients who wouldn't mind a couple big fish.

[Torontotraders]

I'm moving back to the centre of the universe (AKA Toronto area;) at the end of April) I'll be heading there to set up my new 300 gal build, then heading back to ship my fish from here to there. If you find anyone out on the east coast that's willing and able, I can help out as best I can, however I can; If you have any ideas.
