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

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.

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.

Default just my two cents...

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....

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!

Brad

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

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.
