Tank Breakdown - Selling All Livestock

[Ausndani7]

Hey Everyone,

I have several tanks and I am breaking down one so that I could start a hospital tank. I need to sell all the livestock from the tank (roughly 17 fish) to a nice home. Ideally I would like to sell all of the fish together and would offer the best deal this way. It would make things easier for me. This set up would be great for someone new in the hobby or looking to get a steal of a deal. I paid over $600 for all these fish and will sell all of them for $400. If you do the math that's about $23 a fish. If I don't sell as a package deal by Wednesday then I will sell piece by piece. Here is what is included:

1) Small/med powder blue -

2) 3 medium hippo tangs - SOLD

3) med clown tang - SOLD

4) large niger trigger

5) large pink tail trigger

6) 3 yellow tail cleaner wrasse

7) royal dottyback

8) medium fox face

9) large snowflake eel

10) 2 small copperband butterfly - 1 SOLD / 1 Available

11) small/med convict tang

12) red sea urchin



Obviously if I have to sell the livestock piece by piece the price will not be the same. I am selling very cheap as a package to make things easier for myself.

Good luck on the breakdown...if they all get along, hopefully someone with a large tank takes them all.

Michael, All of the fish are perfectly fine and good health. I have several tanks and decided to convert one of my fish only tanks into a hospital tank. I don't want to keep the fish in a hospital tank therefore I decided to sell them.

Several items pending pickup for this evening.... Will update again later. It looks like I will be selling individually so don't hesitate to make me an offer and let me know what your interested in. Pricing will be slightly higher when sold individually. Thanks all.

I bought a few fish from this guy last night, he told me all the fish were eating pellets and that he had the fish for months. When I got there the powder blue looked like it was about to die, and the Dottyback was dead. I should have left and not bought anything, but I just drove all the way to Anaheim, so like an idiot I bought a few of the healthier looking fish.

I woke up this morning and the copperband I bought was already dead. I'm kind of thinking he got these from the wholesaler and is trying to flip them. When I asked him where he bought the fish from, he said he couldn't remember. I'll update this thread on how the other fish are doing.

That sucks, hopefully this gets resolved where both of you guys are content.

I'm not looking for a refund...I should have known better. Oh well, live and learn.

Your 100 percent right, I was the first one to message about the copperband and he only had one listed. He never got back to me until late last night saying the other copperband are sold and he has one left. HE ONLY LISTED ONE, now it's says 2 but I'm 99.9 percent sure the original posting was edited. Plus had no pics shady.....

That sucks. I hope the remaining fish pull through and don't spread anything.

Isn't that clich that when a fish dies people always blame the guy selling them? Perhaps you did not properly acclimate...

What this guy fails to mention is that he was 1 HOUR LATE to pick up the fish when we made the appt. for 6PM and shows up after 7. Obviously the fish were going to be stressed! One of my fish ended up dying while waiting the hour and I had to rebag all of them multiple because he was so late. When he showed up he made no apologize for being late, had a chip on his shoulder, and wasted another hour of my time in my home staring at my tank, trying to decide which fish to buy and asking tons of questions.

and here's some more TRUTH... NEVER said fish only eat pellets. I said fish eat pellets AND mysis/brine and DID tell this guy a few of my spots where I get my fish.

Originally I wasn't going to post anything about what a pain this guy was and take the high road but since this guy posted his side and FAILED to include the truth, I had to post what really happened.

This guy was such a pain to deal with and has such an attitude that I can't say I will deal with him again. Beware before dealing with him. This guy's looking for problems.

And this is all I'm going to mention going forward. I don't have anymore time to waste with this guy.
