If anyone who has a tank bigger that 75 gallons wants a large pleco, please send me a PM or email with your contact information. I always find folks who are looking to rehome their pleco that has gotten too big for their small tanks and I'm running out contacts that have suitable sized tanks.

Just rescued 7 cichlids. They come with an old scratched[url][/url] up 55 gallon tank with stand, hood, light, gravel, rocks, background, and a magnetic algae scraper. You will need to show proof that you have a filter that is rated for at least 100 gallons and some basic knowledge of proper care. I can deliver the setup and fish for $1/mile distance one way from the intersection of Patterson Avenue and Parham Avenue. If you would like to try and identify these fish then be my guest and give it a shot. Follow this link to a video of the fish in action. The smallest one is 3" and the biggest one is 8" long. All have grown up together but anyone who is ingested in just the jack demseys will need a bigger tank than this 55, and I'll allow them to be separated. If you don't have a bigger tank than you will need to take all the fish and the 55 gallon setup. The video was taken in one of my holding tanks right after aclimation and dumped in. The aquarium in the video is not of the 55 that is for free.

BUMP!.. As one of the moderators on aquaticfriendsunited.forumotion.com I feel we need to let all know that we do not generate any profit out of our rescue operations. Upon being contacted due to our listing on C/L under pets, a "shout-out" goes out to our members for either pickup or adoption. If no-one is available for pickup, I generally hop in my car and effect the rescue. I've a number of tanks avail to house the charges until appropriate new homes can be found. (Donated tanks/equipment are always welcome!).. SPSpirate (Andy) has seen my set-ups.. I think he even got to see our most challenging rescue to date.. a 12" Pacu. Luckily, I had a 155G empty tank that housed him for 6 weeks. He finally found a home (at no charge) in a large inter-city grade school tank!..
Our little forum (165 members) only has a handful of Saltwater Enthusiast so our salt efforts are very limited. I hope that if the occasion arises, we can look here for an outlet as either pickups and/or adoptions for our calls of saltwater stock and that you'll do the same for fresh.

Bill, I'm sure if you found yourself in need of a temporary or permanent home for any marine creature, you could depend on the members here to help you out. We have everything from tiny pico to 500+ gallon systems, full blown reef to fish only/aggressive setups, and I'm sure we could accommodate. Please do not hesitate to use this forum and it's members in such a capacity.

Weve got a couple glofish etc that will need a new home. Small community stuff. I have no desire to keep freshwater tank up (daughter now only pays attention to one tank and it's not her freshwater, and my hands are too full to give the freshwater attn it deserves)
