Quantity for sale: 7
Reason for Sale: Not fitting in with future stocking plans, want them to go to a home rather than a store.
Delivery or Collection: Collection only.
Sales price: Free, just provide them with a good home.
Postage & Packaging: N/A
Location: Wigan
Photograph: N/A

These fish are very active, and a genuinly good shoaling fish. These need quite a lot of swimming space. I keep my 7 in a 200 litre tank, 3'3" in length. I want these to go to something measuring at least 70cm with a volume of 100 litres+
I will reject if I feel I should, so don't feel offended please.
These can nip fins, and will eat some species of plants. My bunch have been absolutely fine with all my other fish. Shame to let them go, but as stated they don't fit into my stocking plans.

P.S I'm only willing to give them all together.

Edit: only willing to give to forum members with over 50 posts.

All negotiations and questions must be posted in this sales thread and NOT by PM.

Communications may only be taken to PM once the sale and price has been agreed upon on the open forum and payment/collection details need to be given.

Hi, how long have you had your tank setup?

I'll see if any interest comes from existing members on our forums in the next few days, then i'll see where we are at in 4-5 days time and let you know.

Any chance of pictures m8?

 

[james_fish]

I'm at work at the minute but I'll try when I get home. Because they are pretty active and I'll be taking the pic from my phone, I'll probably get a couple in a bag so you can get a clearer view, that should give an insight into the rest of the shoal, is that okay?

James.

But same rules apply if a more established member comes along, they'll get priority

Please research fish before getting them. A simple google search will often result in a few sites with good info. Don't just have them because they are free.

Alex 90 litres is a bit on the short size volume wise. BA Tetra's are much bigger than your standard Tetra's e.g. Neon's, Glowlights etc... They need much more swimming space too as they are very active. I just think 90l is a little on the short side for them mate.

EDIT: BUMP!
