As my impending financial doom is drawing closer I am forced to sell my pride and joy, a Rio 180 set-up with a number of oddball fish. The tank comes with a Fluval 205 external filter, a Fluval tronic 100W heater, a Rena 50 airpump, textured juwel background siliconed in, lots of silver sand, loads of established live plants, the original stand, 2 pieces of wood, standard built in light with one bulb (these particular fish prefer subdued lighting) and a number of smooth pebbles.

The fish included are:

2 x Climbing Perch (about 3" / 4") (Ctenopoma acutirostre)
2 x South American Puffers (about 2") (Colomesus asellus)
2 x Red Eye Redtailed Puffers (Male and Female both 1 1/2" to 2") (Carinotetraodon irrubesco)
1 x Candy Stripe Goby (Male, around 3" to 3 1/2") (Awaous strigatus)
3 x Pike Top Minnows (2 Males, 1 Female, all 3" / 4") (Belonesox belizanus) These fish have produced young in the past.

All of these fish feed on frozen bloodworm, brineshrimp, chopped mussel etc. They are in good health and have been established in the tank together for many months with no aggression or injuries inflicted.

This probably cost me in excess of £400 to set-up, I am asking £100 for the lot. Buyer must be able to collect and bring everything needed for the move. Any questions please ask.

The below photos are from when the tank was first set-up and the plants have matured since then and really filled the tank out but I can't get my camera so work so it will have to do. There is also more wood and an airpump that are not pictured but I have listed above.

Hi, thanks everyone for your interest, I managed to fit this into a clio when I first got it so should get it into most cars no problem. I know it is cheap but I am more interested in finding the little chaps a good home. Forgot to say it also includes loads of other bits and bobs like nets, siphons, frozen food etc.
