Tank Full Of Fish But Emigrating

[Fugly]

Hi

Currently have a Percula 90 Marine tank ( 275 literes or 73 gallons ) for the past 2 years.
However we are emigrating from the SE of England ( just inside the M25 ) to Australia in January, and although I can take the tank and equipment with me, I will have to say good bye to the fish, corals and rock etc.

I have the following available at a vastly reduced fee ( make me an offer )

3 Clown Anemone fish ( Percula )
3 Blue ( yellow tailed ) Damsels
3 Green Chromis
2 Pyjama Cardinalfish
1 Bengali Cardinalfish
A Six lined Wrasse
Bicolor Blennie
Yellow Goby
Fox Face
Yellow Tang
Regal Tang
Royal Grammer
Eibli Angel

2 Cleaner shrimps
1 Dancing shrimp

1 fairly large Anemone ( clowns love it )

Various corals

3 Blue-banded Hermit crabs
10+ Red leg Hermit crabs
10+ Green leg Hermit crabs
30+ snails

Aprox 80KG live rock

All in good condition, and you are welcome to come and see if you are in the area
Contact me through this forum if you are interested in any of the above.

Thanks

Richard

I have no idea how to do this or how much it would cost ???
If you are interested in several items tthen it may be worth investigating.

Anyone have any clues on how to do this

Well livestock is normally sent either first class special delivery or through parcel force24 (has to be next day delivery!!) often in a water/airtight fishbag (with some air at the top) placed in a polystrene box with scrunched newspapers and/or heat pack to keep the livestock warm and not let the water temp drop. Usually costs about 7 or 8 quid to send.

Ive never posted livestock myself but have had fish and livestcok I bought off ebay posted to me in the past using this method.

Well I would be interested in the Beghai Cardinal and the 6 Line Wrasse along with your cleaner shrimp? So what are the sizes of each fish?

It may be worthwile having a look at ebay in the fish/corals sections at descriptions of how other members post out livestock to give you a rough idea of what neds to be done.

Will you please send me a private message on prices for the above.

Thanks
