Environmental Systems Class fish sale

[hobogato]

It is time for my Environmental Systems students to find new homes for their fish. They are only trying to get back some of the money they spent on their fish and would really prefer that they go to good homes instead of back to a fish store (they are selling many of them for about half of what they paid, so if you would like to offer more, I am sure they would appreciate it). Please do not buy these fish just to resell them later for a profit. Below are the fish that are available and the price the students are asking. Since I am just a middle man for the students, it will have to be cash only and exact amount only – it will be much easier for me to pass that money straight back to the students. They are divided up by tank name (in blue)

Which one is the world's meanest cardinal? :)

[hobogato]

ill never tell :lauging:

[ErikH]

It's probably the less expensive one, ha.

[RayAllen]

Hey Ace im interested in Xehlas Coral Beauty $10. My tank may not be ready for corals but im ok for fish. Do you know if its a coral nipper? Also the Zambee Cinnamon Clownfish $5. I could use the fish waste to get this skimmer dialed.

Ray

[hobogato]

... Xehlas Coral Beauty $10....coral nipper? ...

they have some candy cane and a mushroom in the tank and it has not touched them.

[mattymalcolm]

I am interested in the cleaner shrimp and the scarlet skunk cleaner. How long would we have to pick them up?

[RayAllen]

Cool I will take them both. Whens a good time to pick up. I know this is testing time so you let me know and I can see what I can do about getting over to that neck of the woods.

[mattymalcolm]

or is anyone traveling to austin?

[mattymalcolm]

do these guys still need donations? (frags)

[mattymalcolm]

and the bangai cardnal

[hobogato]

How long would we have to pick them up?

there are four weeks left in the school year, so what has not sold in a couple of weeks will be taken to the lfs.



do these guys still need donations? (frags)

there is lots of space for frags in many of the tanks - donated corals stay with the classroom they will not be sold.

[Paul28]

ill take Atlantis dragon goby what's soon as can pick up

Thx Paul

[mattymalcolm]

[Hamp]

How big is the maroon clown?

[hobogato]

id love the falco if my new tank cycles in time... tick tock tick tock...feel like im up against the clock now...if i put him in my other tank hed eats my randalls pistol shrimp dont you think?

if you want to pay for it asap, i can hold it here in the classroom until your tank is ready. the system will remain running throughout the summer since i have fish in the big tank that will be staying.

[hobogato]

sorry, no holds without payment.

[RayAllen]

I can pay now, just need to know when I can come get them. Ive never been to the school so the address and classroom # to. I know its testing time and you are busy so let us know what works for you.

[Mr Cob]

So, can we pay via paypal to have you hold something? I know you said only cash.

Just thought I would ask. Not sure when i can meet up.

[ACE]

if you want to pay for it asap, i can hold it here in the classroom until your tank is ready. the system will remain running throughout the summer since i have fish in the big tank that will be staying.


Can they be picked up during the summer months? I have a tank that is not ready yet, but would like the same deal if possible.

[mathias]

We need updated classroom pics.... :)

[hobogato]

Can they be picked up during the summer months? I have a tank that is not ready yet, but would like the same deal if possible.

i would really like to be finished with this by the second week of june.

[hobogato]

So, can we pay via paypal to have you hold something?

sorry, i dont want to have my personal accounts involved in any way. exact change cash only is a must.

[hobogato]

i think i will be ready for people to start picking up thier fish on wednesday at 4:30. once i clear it with the principal, i will post for sure.

[sly fox]

ok, great, um should i post you cash certified or something?

[Mr Cob]

Thanks Ace for the quick responses.

[captexas]

Ace -
I live right down the road here by 1604/Judson. I'd be interested in the Marble Sea Star from the Dead Sea tank. Like the cleaner shrimp from the Bermuda tank as well, but someone was already asking for it. Let us know about Wednesday and I can maybe swing by after work on my way to pick up my son from day care. Thanks.

[RayAllen]

Ace do you go to the school on the weekends for any reason? My work schedule 8-5 M-F. If weekends do not work scratch me off and someone else can jump on the great deals.

[hobogato]

i can probably be available saturday morning for people to come pick up then as well. once i get a schedule, i will post it.

[leliataylor]

I would like the: Montego Bay - Oscellaris Clown
Congo Cay - Yellow Tang

I can pick them up anytime either Wednesday or Thursday this week. Let me know what your schedule is and the address where I need to go. Thanks in advance, they are for my sons reef tank we have been setting up for 3 months now.

[Rychek]

I would like to know where to go to see these fish. I'm interested in many of them, but I'd like to see them first.

[Kristy]

Hey Ace,
Are the St. Catalina Island Tiger pistol shrimp ($15) and the
Hi Fin Red Banded Goby ($10) a bonded pair?
-Mike (&Kristy)

[hobogato]

they are in the same tank but do not hang out together yet

[MKCindy]

Wow, did you open a can of worms. LOL
I am interested in the Dragon Goby, Chromis, Watchman Goby, Neon Blue and/or Neon Gild Goby, Blenny, Bicolor Pseudochromis and Yellow Tang. I'm sure some are already spoken for. I can bring cash by in the morning.

[hobogato]

ok, just so we are all on the same page here..... nothing is spoken for or on hold. when something is paid for, i will take it off of the list. the first day for anyone to pick up fish will be wednesday. not trying to be mean or short, just wanted to make sure everyone understood the way i have to do this to keep it fair. there are still a few tanks that need me to add their fish to the list, so keep checking that first post to see what else is available.

[leliataylor]

Understood. Just let me know when and where and I can pickup the tang and clown. I want to be first in line for these two. My grand daughter will love them. We are setting up a Nemo tank for her/reef tank for my son. They will be a great addition to the zoas, shrooms, ricordia and nepthea already in the tank. Her high chair sits next to the tank and she loves watching it. If another Oscellaris clown becomes available I will take it as well.

If next year any of your students are interested in trying their hand with a couple of juvi seahorses let me know. Free donation, not to be sold. I could take them back at the end of the school year.

[Paul28]

Ok so nothing is spoken for or on hold, is that first come first serve on wednesday 430pm ? Dont touch my Dragon Goby ill find you and hunt you down !!!

Thx Paul

[hobogato]

yep, you are correct paul. please do not show up before 4:30 as school gets out at 4 and it is a madhouse in the parking lot until well after 4. i will post the address and where to go on campus once i get the ok tomorrow.

[RayAllen]

I will get fish else where folks. No way for me to be there to get them so the Coral beauty and cinnamon clown are up for the taking.

[SA-DSM]

pm sent

[RayAllen]

OK Ace count me back in Xehlas Coral Beauty $10. Also the Zambee Cinnamon Clownfish $5. You will have the cash Tommorow via another member. Thanks

[so-smrt]

interested in at east 1 Marble Sea star and perhaps the lunar wrasse. where are you located in SA? are there any precautionsi should consider about the lunar wrasse?

[RayAllen]

Lunar wrasse like inverts, like to eat them that is.

[hobogato]

[RayAllen]

Yes, thank your students for us. The Coral Beauty and Cinnamon are at home and doing great.

[hobogato]

38 critters left, anyone coming by saturday morning?

[fjr_wertheimber]

Anyone "win" the world's meanest cardinal lottery yet? :-)

[Texreefer]

I think I did!:lauging: but I have a feeling it will behave:wink_smile:

[hobogato]

:innocent2:

[leliataylor]

Thanks Ace beautiful, healthy tang and clown.

[Rychek]

Hey Ace, is this going to become an annual occurance? I hope it does, not only because we can get great deals on great fish, but (more importantly) we can help young people recoup some of the cost of the fish. I for one am a very satisfied "patron."

[hobogato]

last bump. if you are coming tomorrow, pm me or post here. if nobody says they are coming, i wont be here.

[aimaike]

If anyone from Austin is going down, please PM me. There are a couple of fish I would like to get, but driving down tomorrow is quite impossible. Thanks!

[hobogato]

due to lack of interest, there will be no cash n carry today. if you are interested in any of these fish, send me a pm very soon as they will likely go to the lfs soon.

[rocketeer]

I was going to go. I'll pm you and see if it's not too late.

Jack

[Kristy]

Hey Ace,
Did the fish go to the LFS? Just checking on status....

Mike (& Kristy)

[hobogato]

[Texreefer]

OK, turns out the worlds meanest Cardinal is a big chicken when he gets into a bigger ocean with 25 other fish.. he has been hiding under the foamwork for about 3 days now.:lauging:
