How are you tracking with all of this, Darren?

[CaptCrash]

With an upcoming move of house, I need to sell off my breeding pairs of fish, shrimp, tanks etc.
If you are looking for breeding pairs please let me know.

Please do keep in mind, these are good breeding pairs, not just two fish who have been introduced together. As such I am looking for a fair price for the breeding pairs.
I do have some single fish that I am willing to sell at regular rates as well.
With everything feel free to make an offer if what I am asking is not reasonable.

In terms of laying/hatching of fry, I turned down the temps on my tanks in Feb, so laying has reduced most of the fish are still laying but not as often.

The following are all available

Laying on a very regular cycle (every 14 -20 days), all have laid in the last two weeks
3 pairs x Amphiprion percale, (Percula Clownfish), $200 per pair, 1 pair sold, 2 pairs remaining
2 pairs x Amphiprion ocellaris (Ocellaris Clownfish), $200 per pair
1 pair x Amphiprion ocellaris (Picasso patterned), $250 per pair
1 pair x Amphiprion frenatus (Tomato Clownfish), $200 per pair
1 pair x Amphiprion rubrocinctus (Red Clownfish), $200 per pair
1 pair x Pictichromis diadema (Diadema Dottyback), $100 per pair
1 Pair x Premnas biaculeatus (White Stripe Maroon Clownfish), $200 per pair
1 Pair x Stenopus hispidus (Coral Banded Shrimp), $100 per pair
6 x Lysmata vitatta (Peppermint Shrimp), $100 for the group

Laying intermittently all have laid since Feb

1 x Amphiprion ocellaris (Domino Clownfish - all black with white dot), $300

I also have a large range of tanks available for sale.
Most if not all have been drilled and would be suitable as a sump or quarantine tank.
In terms of pricing, I am happy to negotiate on price depending on condition and number required. Most would be $10-20 each

1 x 3 x 2 x 2

Several multi-level tank stands are also available to hold the various sized tanks (1 x 8 tanks, 1 x 10 tanks, 1 x 8 tanks, 1 x 3 tanks, 1 x 6 tanks).
These are mostly wooden stands and very solid.

Dude.. Wait. What? Can you at least let us know if you'll be back in the game?

Dave

[CaptCrash]

I expect so, but I'll have a break for a couple of years

[Aydee]

Good luck man. Just know that many of us REALLY appreciated and loved your effort!

Will you have a tank in your new place (Even if only display and not breeding)

Dave

[CaptCrash]

I haven't descided as yet, the current 8' display may come with me or I may shut it down as well. Not really sure. I'll probably keep a tank of some sort though.

[CaptCrash]

Well after a few years of no fish, no display tank no nothing, there has been a restart.

For the last couple of months I have had a big group of Banggai Cardinalfish and as of today a batch of peppermint shrimp.
So with any luck I can get these guys all breeding reliably and regularly over the next few months and once again add to the captive bred fish population locally.

That’s great news. You can put me down for some Peppy’s and a chat once you are back up and running
