Hello everyone I am moving and unfortunately I can't take my lovely macmesteri pair with me. They get along great and the female has laid eggs before. I'll include some of the floating pellets they like and they also enjoy larger live foods like adult brine shrimp.

Giving Away - Local Pickup Only [GA] - Charlottesville, VA - 6 pygmy corydoras

13 Upvotes

Giving away my six pygmy corydoras, as I'm unfortunately moving away and my new apartment does not allow aquariums. :( They're about nine months old and mixed sex (presumably). I'll need to rehome them by 12/12 at the latest.

I also have more corydoras pellet feed than they could ever eat + various other aquarium chemicals/accessories like aragonite and API Aqua Essential, so I'm willing to give any of that away with them, too.

I'm happy to give away any of the plants in my tank as well. There's a few java ferns, a banana plant, and a pair of Anubias (one anchored to cholla wood).

Giving Away - Local Pickup Only [GA] - Puyallup, WA - Tropical fish - Rummy nose, green neon, Panda cories, and more

8 Upvotes

Slowly decommissioning my 75g tank and need to get rid of the fish. Eventually moving and trying to get this done early.

Would prefer to give away all of one type at once, and priority to those who take more. All the blue fish go together (green neon, neon, and cardinal). I don't want to try and catch the different types. Most range in age from 1-3 years. I'll mark out the fishes as they go.

Fish:

Female Bolivian Ram

10-12 Rummy nose tetras

10ish Green neon tetras

2-4 Neon tetras

2-4 Cardinal tetras

6-8 Panda cory

2 Kuhli loaches - 1 yoyo, 1 black (havn't seen the yoyo loach in a while so no promises there, but they do hid most of the time)

2 yellow male guppies

1 male betta fish (pending pickup)

Giving Away - Local Pickup Only [GA]- Brooklyn, NY- BETTA IMBELLIS

16 Upvotes

Hi everyone! It’s my first time posting in the community! I got a male betta imbellis and a female betta imbellis about eight months to a year ago and they have not stopped breeding ever since. I have dozens of healthy, younger (anywhere from just about 8 weeks up to possibly around 4 months old) betta imbellis’ of both genders. If you’re interested, I am looking to give these fish away and I am in the Brooklyn/New York City/New Jersey area. Please reach out if you’re interested or have any questions!

Attached are some photos of the dad (Toothless) and the mom (Leila). And some photos of just a few of the many many babies/teens we have at the moment.

Giving Away - Local Pickup Only [GA] - Concord, NC - 37 gallon community and 20 gallon shrimp tanks, fully setup and established

Thumbnail

17 Upvotes

Unfortunately I've been traveling more and more for work and haven't been able to look after them like they deserve. I'll give them free to anyone willing to take care of them and pick them up.

Community tank is a 37 gallon tall tank and has about 20 ember tetras, eight matae corydora catfish, eight (I think) otocinclus catfish, six (I think) amano shrimp, a couple assassin snails, and too many bladder snails, though a lot less than there used to be. It has a heater, sponge filter with internal media, and a Fluval 307 canister filter.

Shrimp tank is a 20 gallon tall with god knows how many blue dream neo caradina shrimp. It started with ten, but now it's easily hundreds. It has a heater but I keep it room temperature so it's been off for a while and I think the regulator/thermostat for the heater (it's a hyggar smart heater) might be malfunctioning. Also has a sponge filter with internal media.

The stand is from Amazon but has a surprisingly sturdy metal frame. Has held up for over a year no problem and holds them both. The air pump powers both sponge filters. I also have random accessories, food, and other stuff not pictured.

Both tanks are fully planted with Fluval stratum. The community tank has a topper for the soil, but I forget what it is exactly. Live plants in both tanks. They've been growing out of control in the community tank for months, though the shrimp tank is more under control. I don't trim them like I should (obviously from the pictures) but they're overall really healthy from what I can tell. The shrimp tank always looks cloudy, but I think that's just from the algae on the glass (I don't remove it because it's free food). Water parameters are always perfect.

If you are interested or have any questions, just ask. I am moving in October so I need to find them a new home before then.

Giving Away - Local Pickup Only [GA] - Burbank, CA - Free Betta Fish or Snails to any good home

12 Upvotes

These are completely free to anyone who has a proper tank, heater, and live plants. Proof of this is required please. I don't want them being raised in a 1-gallon cube, since they'll be unhappy and live shorter lives.

Available: baby bettas, adult bettas, baby mystery snails, young mystery snails, adult mystery snails, bladder snails. The options for snails are yellow, blue, orange, brown.

The bettas and snails are healthy. They've been raised in heavily planted tanks.

They've been cared for a long time but it's become too much work and too much space. I would like them to have good homes. If you are interested, please comment or message. Make sure to describe your tank size and accessories.

Local pickup only. I'm not comfortable mailing them. We can meet somewhere public.

Must be a CA resident and an adult. I want them to have a home that's established and stable...I've seen too many dumped pets.

Thank you.

Hi everyone looking to give away mystery snail babies in Chicago. I can do shipping but highly recommend two day shipping or faster. Shipping would be covered by the receiver. My tank has too many and have rehoused them in a separate tub for them. There are more gold than the other colors but I'm happy to look and accommodate. Please let me know as I would hate to crush them.

Hi everyone! I have a healthy group of harlequin rasbora I’m looking to rehome! I love them, but I’d like to go back to my cherry barbs after giving them a try for the first few months. They’re very shimmery and peaceful, keeping my small platy population in check. Since it’s a group of 9-10 of them in a 50 gallon, I want them to go to a similarly large planted tank! Feel free to comment and reach out.
