To clear out or not

Hi all

I keep finding myself in two minds . That is whether to sell few of my fish, or all of my fish ( including all my tanks) . The reason I'd do this is due to the time these tanks take me to clean. I feel that it may be affecting my studies, and my pocket a little too much haha.

If I sold my fish and all equipments I'd look at getting myself a 1200L and maybe import an arowana with sites and relevant permits and keep just the one fish. Yet I doubt that will happen owing to how attached I am to my earth eaters and some frontosas

if I sold my fish I'd have the following for sale.
2 x jardini's
3x synspilums ( one large and two babies)
1x blue 'synspillum' or vieja zonatus
5 clown loaches
6 leleupi's
3 frontosa
1 fire eel ( my little baby)
1 polleni
1 tiger oscar
1 flowerhorn ( the best one I have ever seen )
1 parrot fish
1 synadontis catfish ( excuse spelling)

if I sold my tanks I'd sell a two tier four foots each with t5 lighting
a custom sized 1.8m (about 900L)
a sun sun 4 foot with all lighting and built in filtration ( trickle filters)

So the reason I'm posting this is for advice on a new venture, ie different fish. The reason I have cichlids is for their constant activity so fish like discuss may not be the right avenue for me, nor planted tanks

i too, listed all my fish to see if there is anyone interested in my fish before I decide what to do as well as the tanks

thank you
regards

Hi you ask a very difficult question there was some one on the forum not to long ago looking for clowns

 

Yes it's very difficult seeing I've had most of these fish for a couple years now. But it's a choice I might have to make if I plan to get my studies done effectively

 

how much for the fish? i might be interested for my work tank

 

Well I can upload pics and see what anyone is willing to pay. I just don't want to make a loss. I'm a student that can't afford to lose money haha. I'll upload photos now, but it must be said that I'm still deciding.

 

cool lets have a look - fire eel.. how big is it?

 

He is still small. About 20cm. To be honest he doesn't have nice colour and I'm not looking for a lot for him because he means so much to me. I have only recently got him to feed on thawed shrimp , hand fed. Very picky as I'm sure you know. He is difficult to get a photo of

 

Here they are

 

Doubt you will find the cash and time as rewarding as the current tank mates. Keep then and get a few more tanks, just to make sure not MTS cure will ever get you down.

 

nice, if you decide to maybe post some prices and we can take it from there

 

@f-fish that's what I'm scared of haha
@Ammar I definitely will do

 

double post, sorry

 

Jay I might be interested in the clown loaches, how big are they? pics would be great, thanks

 

@Jay - PM the prices for the tanks. Who knows ...
