Video forthcoming when I get back from vacation. :) The tank's a little cloudy because I just blew the junk out of the rocks and I leave tomorrow.

I need to sell four fish because I'm breaking down the tank they're in and they are not compatible with either my other fish or a reef tank. All except the Damsel are FO/FOWLR only. I would very much like them to stay together because they get along so well but it's not absolutely necessary. Local pick-up or meeting partway only. I would be sick if these guys got lost in the mail or something.

Coral Beauty Angelfish ($20)
Green Spotted Puffer ($20)
Creamsicle Lyretail Molly ($8)
Electric Blue Damsel ($12)
Or all 4 for $50.

The newest fish, the coral beauty, has been with us no less than 2-3 months so you can count all of them as quarantined. Tank's a bit of a mess because it's been getting neglected (main reason for breaking it down), but the fish are all healthy.

All eat frozens and all but the puffer will take NLS pellets. The puffer does require snails (or other hard-shelled meaty items) as a staple in his diet to keep his teeth from overgrowing, but I would be more than happy to give my ramshorn snail breeding colony to whoever takes him. Just give them a cycled 5-10g FW tank with at least a bubble stone and feed them and they'll breed like rabbits.

I'm going to miss these guys, but I overshot the number of tanks I can reasonably handle at one time. The equipment and tank are not for sale, as I'll be using the equipment and the tank will be saved for a QT.

This tank has NEVER been exposed to cryptocaryon (saltwater ich) and all the fish except the molly have been disease-free since they arrived. The molly had some parasites but they have been gone for at least 8 months now if not more (erring on the side of caution because I don't recall the date of treatment and the time has really gotten away from me. It may have been as long as a year and a half.)
 
Price Reduction
Coral Beauty $15
Green Spotted Puffer $15
Creamsicle Lyretail Molly $4
Electric Blue Damsel $5
Or all 4 for $35.

Again, they all share a 29g tank very peacefully with each other.
 
I just discovered something maddeningly unhelpful. Three of the four fish are camera-shy. This is the best I could get. I apologize for the condition of the tank...kind of illustrates why I'm tearing it down. I have too many to give each one the attention it needs.

I may be able to bring them to the SoCal Reef-A-Palooza this year if anyone would like to pick them up from me there.
 
FREE NOW - Local Pickup in Hemet, CA only.

Accidentally murdered the coral beauty so I have:

Electric Blue Damsel - turning male?

Green Spotted Puffer (fully SW-acclimated)

Creamsicle Lyretail Molly (fully SW-acclimated, helpful for algae control)

They MUST GO by next weekend or they will have to be dropped off at an LFS and I don't want to do that.
