  1. Having them gone sooner would be better so if you can get them Saturday mframe, they are yours. I would keep them if I had another place to put them, but I currently only have a 10g and it has an angler that would eat both. The rest of my fish will be in a plastic tub for the next 6mths and my puffer would probably make a meal out of the shrimp anyway.

    Text me Saturday 512-697-7192. I've currently have no plans to go anywhere...if I feel up to it I'll check out the grand opening. I've been feeling crappy though. Had to put down one of my older dogs Monday unexpectedly, and lost a pup to Parvo last week that I helped rescue.

  2. I've had these two for about 8mths. They paired up at the store and have been together since. The shrimp is a very active cave digger in the 6g tank they are in. When they were in the 84g I had I thought they died...they were half the size and apparently set up shop where I couldn't see them. I will try to get photos, but when I get close to the tank the goby often darts in the cave. Nice little pair that must stay together...I'm going to be taking down their little nano tank.

    Asking $30.

  3. Yeah, I had them in a 6g fluval ebi tank. The male picked on other fish that weren't even bothering them. Then once they laid more eggs he'd pick on the itty bitty babies. I have another male and female in my fluval edge...male is not nearly mature enough for the female, but I am sure once he is I'll be having to figure out what to do with them or the others in the tank.

  4. I'll try to take some tonight. I have about four babies, normal coloring, from their last clutch you can take if you end up wanting the parents. I think if the tank was bigger, having other fish wouldn't be a problem. Like you, I have a lot of tanks...all except my dang large reef (now just a plastic tub). I've got four small tanks and two beta tanks and two more nano's at work. I just want a little counter space back smile.png I've had these two for about a year. I'm sure you know, but they don't get very big...like 2" max and the female is only about 1 1/2".

    Here is a link to ones that look JUST like mine:

  5. Now I need about $2950 more to get my new 300g LOL. Actually, I snagged some medical reimbursement checks from hubby before he deposited them. Told him I'm saving them for my tank, no discussion! So I really need $1,000 to get it started and then another $1500 2mths from then.

  6. Anyone interested in a mated pair of Albino Kribensis? I paid $20 each at Aquatek and am asking $20 for the pair. The male is really pretty...female has a yellow tint to her. They have had many clutches. The last couple didn't make it because I've been slacking on water changes. Decided I wanted to make their little tank into a nano salt water.

    Note...you can't have any other fish with them when they lay eggs, get ready to lay eggs, or have the babies. They are very protective. I have them in a 6g fluval shrimp tank. I set up a 5g tank to hold their babies in when they got ready to have more.

    Thanks,

  7. Sold already. I got it used. I actually had a guy to donate it so I could raise money for a vet bill. I sold it to a friend...who sold it back to me because he was moving and didn't have room to store it any more. It's so cheap because the glass is literally covered with tiny scratches. Yea, mostly noticeable when dry, but I wouldn't feel right asking more for it. Anyway, sold already...got a phone call and was just now able to update.

  8. Asking $50...good starter tank. Just took it down...was temp. housing some stuff that now fits in a ten gallon. I'm not allowed to keep the Red Sea Max, per my husband (long story). There are a lot of fine scratches on the glass. You can see them when it's dry. When it's got water in it, it's not as noticeable. When I got it, it had water in it and i had no idea there were scratches until I went to set it up.

    So...low price due to that. Has the stock skimmer and pc lights. Lights need to be replaced I'm sure. No heater...comes with a little black sand with lots of pods. I'm not rinsing and cleaning it either...has only been up for a couple months. Must pick up.

    Thanks,

  9. HA! Funny Chad! If I had a tank that would be considered downsizing. All I have a rubbermaid tub. I have a saltwater fish pond rather than a tank. Won't have $$ for another 3mths, then it will take another 2mths to build the tank. Just not sure what I want to do right now...not exactly fair to keep the fish living like this for THAT long. It's already been over a month.

  10. Bump for a great price and great light!

    Just an idea of how much they cover...we wanted to buy 8 and only could afford six for our 280g. The tank was 6ft long by 31" tall by 30" wide. We put the lights on at 50% to let corals adjust and, honestly, I didn't think it needed to go higher. It looked awesome...didn't need 8 after all. Here's a photo before our tank cracked.

  11. I have to agree with some people in that a non-venomous snake is no biggie...don't even bother them when I see them in the yard. Well, aside from grabbing the tail and making them scurry off. When we lived in town we had a coral snake under the storage shed...killed that sucker! Despite how beautiful they are, they have to go. We have way too many dogs to risk not killing them, and our neighbors dog just barely survived a copper head bite. Knowing my luck if I tried to catch it I'd lose it. We've been out here for four years and have seen a number of Rat Snakes...counting the one that made it into the living room. We had one Rattle Snake, in which that Reptile Guy, Tim, said it was probably just passing through due to the area it was in. He was gone by the time my hubby went back out. Of course when he found it he called me at work panicking on who to call and what that snake guys name and number was LOL.

    I can deal with everything but spiders. I do freak out though when I see snakes and scorpions and the dogs are around...don't want them to get hurt. Just threw a scorpion outside last night. Haven't had to kill one yet...not even the one that landed on my pillow one night. Reached my hand up, it crawled on it and I thought 'SPIDER" and flung it. It landed next to the dog that always gets stung and she had that wide eyed look. Never got me though.

    What's actually bugging me now are those big flies that look like mosquitos. They are all over out here...and inside the house because a dozen fly in when you open the dang door. And they fly into your face...I can deal, but any bug going in your face just sets ya off!

  12. I don't know about them being all that sensitive. I cooked my red sea max...was in the mid 90's at a minimum...heat was messed up. My yellow wrasse died, my RBTA (fave piece) died and all my corals aside from zoas. My two starfish were limp and listless, but for the heck of it I put them in cooler water. My yellow tang was just out int he open, barely moving and looking like hell. I slowly, but quickly adjusted him to cooler water in this plastic tub with a little filter and some chaeto to hide behind and he made. I couldn't believe it! My starfish came around also. The snails and crabs made it too.

  13. Thanks Patrick! Waiting on a quote and then we'll have to save up the money for it. I have a lot of tangs so the macro may not work too well in the tank...well, the Tangs will probably think it works well. LOL I'm going to try to hit the meeting at your place though. I have a Red Sea Max that I want to keep running for an Angler...IF I can catch one this year. I was thinking of doing an algae-scaped set up for it.

  14. I still have a Rock Nem that I brought home last July. My favorite are the Anglers. Didn't catch one last year, but hope to this year so I can argue with my husband that the Red Sea Max HAS to stay running LOL. I caught one two years ago that was very nicely colored and he was full of personality. I upgraded his tank to a 20g and one night, before I cut egg crate to put over it, he jumped out. SOOOO upsetting! Never fun to have jumpers, esp. when you really like the fish that jumped.

    I can't wait for this years trip. Wish it were July already...we just bought our first fishing poles in like 15yrs! - woo hoo.
