« on: September 12, 2014, 10:17:31 AM »
Buying a 300 gallon tank on saturday. I have no idea what kinds of fish are in it other than they are Africans. Looks a mix of everything.   1 dollar per fish. Buy 10 fish get 15. Grand  Rapids area.

I would say he's right,  I got a 125 from the same guy a week or two ago...it was an impressive tank but it was chock full of fish.

Ok.  What is the average size (fry, 2-4", 4"+)?  Any idea what kind of cichlids?  Are they healthy?

From what I remember and assuming it's the same guy.  It was mbuna mostly, breeding size for the most part with varying size fry/juveniles as well hiding among the rocks and plants.  I couldn't tell you what species though as I wasn't interested in getting any, it was one of 8 or so tanks the guy had, and I don't know mbuna well.

All of the above sizes and some larger.  If you PM me your phone number i can text you a few pics before we start tearing the tank down.

No idea on anything about them. 

Lilscoots pretty sure its the same guy.  He has some pretty nice tanks setup. Its going to be fun to get the 300 though the window.

Hope you get a enough help moving that, especially if it's glass....be one heavy tank, let alone when it's full.
Good luck moving it through the window. ..I'm lucky would fit through my doors.

It went pretty easy.  took us about 4 from draining to unloading it.  We did it with 4 guys.   All the fish have been claimed.
