It's the end of an era... 20+ years of fish keeping, the last five being all salt tanks. I'll probably be back eventually, but for now it's time to take a break. Will be selling everything in two phases. Phase one will be the fish themselves, and phase two will be all the equipment - 330g tank, sump, LED lights, skimmer, Red Dragon pumps... Lots of nice stuff. Everything will be for PICK UP in MANHATTAN. No deliveries, no shipping, sorry.

Gotta sell the fish first though. Catching fish in this tank is not easy. And that is a masterpiece of understatement. So, the way I plan to do this is to catch/trap a few fish as I have time, and move them to my quarantine setup and sell those guys before moving on to the next small group. So it may take some time to move them all out. If you see a fish on the list that you want me to try and catch, please just send me a PM. I'm happy to offer discounts if you buy more than one. The sizes listed are just rough estimates - I find it very difficult to accurately gauge size through 1" thick acrylic. And if any of these prices look way off, please let me know - I want to be fair and want these fish to all go to great homes. I arrived at these prices based on observing several popular online vendors' prices and then applying a discount.

Anyhow, here's the list:

Blonde Naso Tang (8") SOLD
Orange Shoulder Tang (6") SOLD
Lieutenant Tang (5") SOLD
Asfur Angelfish (7-8") $250
Emperor Angelfish (7") SOLD
Gray Angelfish (9") $250
Blue Face Angelfish (8") SOLD
Singapore Angelfish (4") SOLD
Blue Line (C. septentrionalis) Angelfish (5-6") $200
Multicolor Angelfish (3-4") $100
Hi-Fin Snapper (7-8") $175
Porkfish (9") $75
One Spot Foxface (7-8") SOLD
Indigo Hamlet (4") $25
Maroon Clownfish (3") SOLD
Royal Gramma (3") SOLD
Longnose Hawkfish SOLD
Starry Blenny (4") SOLD
(2) Kupang + (2) Yellowtail Damselfish $10 for all

I'm planning to start catching fish by early next week, and will update this thread with what's immediately available in my quarantine tanks. All fish are in excellent health and eat like champs.

I've had a great response to this list of fish... Since multiple folks have shown interest in the same fish on a number of occasions, I'll be giving dibs in the order that messages were received. Please bear with me if I don't respond to you right away. Hoping to have the firsts batch of fish caught and moved into QT (where they'll be easy to catch) by Tuesday of next week. So far I've gotten the most interest in the orange shoulder, the blue stripe angel and the emperor. So I'll try for those guys first, but certainly no guarantees. Basically whatever swims into my net is what I pull out first. :)

That's not a French Angel but a Gray or Black Angel.
Click to expand...

Ah, really? That would explain why it hasn't changed to adult French coloration at this size... It was sold to me as P. paru by Michael at NY Aquatic. I guess as juveniles it's pretty easy to mistake one for the other. Does everyone else agree? Should I change the listing?
