Lots of livestock for sale - Tank Shutdown

FishyFishy! · #1 09-10-2012, 06:04 PM

So I have an opportunity that I can't pass up on at work, but the downside is that for the first 12 months, I will be two weeks in the US, and two weeks back here, so having a fish tank babysat by someone every two weeks for two weeks...isn't something I want to risk. A sad...sad day for me as I never got to fully set up the 155 reef tank. But it's a good career choice for me at this point, and after 12 months I'll be able to come back here and buy a bigger, better tank!

First for sale is my livestock. Then all of the equipment I own. Equipment thread is in the Hardware section soon.

All fish are super healthy, eat like pigs, and get along great. They are fed NLS pellets and flakes in the morning and thawed Mysis shrimp in the evening (with exception of eel).

1. Passer (King) Angel (5-6”) - $80.00 (Are known to not be reef safe, but this one has never touched corals)

2. Blue Tang (7”) – Has some scarring around head, but he is fat, healthy and active with a wikid personality - $40.00

3. Red Corris Wrasse (5”) - $40.00 (NOT REEF SAFE)

4. Solar Fairy Wrasse (4”) - $30.00

5. Melanurus Wrasse (4”) - $30.00 (NOT REEF SAFE)

6. Niger Trigger (4”) - $40.00 – (Are known to not be reef safe, but this one has never touched corals)

7. Yellow Damsel (Mating pair) Lay eggs once every 3-4 Days! - $20.00 for pair

8. Flame Hawkfish - $40.00

9. Breeding pair of Ocellaris Clowns (Female is 3” and big, male is 2”) - $30.00 for pair

10. Alans Damsel (3”) - $15.00

11. Talbots Damsel (2”) - $5.00

12. Fiji Blue Devil Damsel – 2” - $5.00 (Very aggressive…do not recommend for a smaller tank)

13. 2 X Green Chromis – 2” - $10.00 each

14. 16” Snowflake Moray Eel - $50.00 – Eats frozen seafood mix (Scallops, Shrimp, Squid, Krill, Muscles etc. etc.) Will include whatever food I have left for him. Very healthy and fat. I feed him with tongs, he will come right up to the top of the tank to feed. Has never even touched any other fish or invert in the tank

15. 15” Orange Serpant Starfish (the size of a dinner plate) - $30.00

When everything is taken down, I will assess how many hermits and snails that I have. I probably have 10 Extra Large Turbo Snails, and 15 Trochus, and 15 Hermits. But who knows. If you want them, let me know and I’ll hold the lot for you until they are ready to go.

Let me know ahead of time if you want anything, so I can catch it before you come over. Pics to follow.

The snowflake eel, online it says they can live in a 25G so he would work in my 41g? Is an open top tank a concern for an eel?
If not I am interested.

only juvies can be kept in tanks that small they eventually need a bigger tank.at 16" he would be way to big , and yes they require tops for the tank.

Yeah I'd say thats a little tight for this guy. Though he dosn't swim around the tank. Like a normal Eel, they just sit in a hole in the rock with their head out lookin like they're talking to themselves. lol.

They also need a very tight lid, mind you I have never seen this guy anywhere near the top of the tank unless he's feeding.
