I posted a ad on craigslist already. But if any members in the bay area who are aquarist I have several show quality rare goldfish for sale. I am moving in a couple of months so have to sell some of my prized fish =(

I have a black veiltail, calico ranchu, gold crown pearlscale, rare show quality blue oranda, large ryukin, cute wakin goldfish with clownfish type rings of red on his head and a few others.

Also have stuff for sale like canister filter, diatom filter, 20 gallon long tank for sale, some plants like mangrove and huge anubias.

If you live in the bay area and would like to take a look just send me a message. I am going to be selling my 55 gallon tank setup eventually when the final move comes too.

Prices on the fish range from 20-100 dollars.

I'm not near you, nor do I keep fish -- but can we see what these look like? Sounds like a really cool hobby.

Yeah ill take a few pics later. Ive had them for a few years. One fish is about 10 inches long from head to tail I am hoping to get close to a hundred for it. Online a simular size quality fish sells for about 300. I was really into my aquarium before i got my yaris. Now my time and money goes into my yaris isntead. Sadly my fish get neglected now hehe. I used to do a water change once a week. Now its like once a month.

One of my biggest fish a Black veiltail with a orange belly. Strangely enough its starting to turn orange. I have a black and white panda butterfly fish that turned all white on me so i hope this fish wont turn all orange.

And all these guys wanted to pose for a camera shot lol. One on the left is just a plain feeder fish. Out of all the fish in my turtle tank this one never got eaten and then go fat and outswam the baby turtles. So now resides in my tank with the other fish. One on the far right is a blue oranda. Looked at every local petshop all over the place to find it. Finally got it. Its very adorable. Click the link below. Its like a cuddly puppy

I used to have one like this but it died mysteriously. Was the only fish i ever got from petsmart so i suspect it had a disease to begin with. I only purchase fish from independent reputable aquariums now. No petsmart or petco.

I am actually hopeing im unlucky on selling them so i wil be forced to find a way to keep them =). Ive had them for a very long time and emotionally attached to most of them. 2 of them are my girlfriends so I cant sell those anyways. Few of them i have got them recently so not too attached to those.

But either way i am going to have to left a few go atleast. I think i have like 10 or more fish in total. So its going to make for a difficult move. I dont have that many buckets.

How much is the large ryukin, deep fried in batter with a plate of fries? :drool: :wink:

Just kidding. Good luck to finding them a new home. Fish make great pets. The best tank i've seen was a converted old tv set that had a fish tank in it with lights above it.

It looked like there was fish on tv.

Something like this.....
