Big fishes for sale need gone asap

[jthao]

Original plan of setting up a large tank didn't happen, and now I have to take down my two 120g tanks and move everything into one tank, so all my bigger fishes gotta go.
Everything gotta go this weekend, whatever fishes don't sell is going to lfs where they'll sell it for double what I'm asking here.
All fishes are super fat and healthy and some have been in captivity for many many years. If you think my price is off, then shoot me an offer through pm please and don't hate on me in the fs thread.
Serious buyers only please, if you don't intend to buy, then please don't waste my time and come over just to "look".
Not holding any fish for anyone, first come first served.

Correction: it's a yellow eye kole tang and not a tomini, probably the biggest kole tang I've ever seen anywhere in captivity

Sent you a txt dude

Sorry for the confusion on the tomini and kole, I have a tomini tang but he's only 3" and NSF and a kole tang that's 5", not 7", got a better measurement now that he's captured but he's very fat and thick which makes him look bigger


Price drop, need them gone, would hate for such beautiful specimens to go to the lfs
The big ones are close to 3" thick!!! They're all caught and ready to go, got better measurements now:

Silver scats 7.5" $35 each (2)

These next ones aren't big, but big for their species:

Blue chromis 2.5" $5
Black with white dot damsel 4" very nice looking $10
Black and white stripe damsel 2", 3" $5 each

Going to be adding other fishes too, not necessarily big, just all the fishes that I have to get rid of because of my tank transition and not being able to keep them.

Dang josh...those are show size fishes...glws...

 

[generaltoaster]

making me wish I had a bigger tank so I could buy all these bad boys. GLWS
I'll be interested once you put up some of the smaller guys; I'll find time to swing by and take some stuff off your hands

 

[jthao]

Thanks guys, people are coming by today to grab some of them, so idk what's going to be left after today..but I'll keep this thread posted. If I have interests for most of them, I'll hold them and not take them to the lfs.
It'll be such a shame to have to take them to the lfs.

FYI: I searched high and low for these fishes, as most of you know, and some of you may not know this: fish stores dont stock and rarely do they have "show size" fishes. When they do have one, it's usually from a trade in. I bought all these fishes from people who have had them for many years in captivity, these ARE NOT fishes that I bought from fish stores and came from the ocean recently, they have all been in captivity for many years and for some of them even longer. All the large ones were all raised from little 1-2" babies

I really really wish I could keep these guys. Like I said, I searched for these fishes and waited and waited for many months to buy them from reefers, I'm sad that I have to sell them.
