Hi all i have 2 T5HO 45watt (895mm) flourescent bulbs +end caps..1 is 'day' light and 1 is 'nature' light free to a good home!

I could put them to good use, unfortunately you're too far. If you're in Dublin soon, I could swap some plants for them.

kingerae86 · 09-02-2013 2:40pm

good supply of endlers to swap for driftwood etc....
what have you?

TooManyDogs · 09-02-2013 11:04pm

Anyone want to swap some shrimp? I have red cherrys and some rillis and am looking for fresh bloodlines

buzz · 17-02-2013 11:57pm

2 firemouth cichlids and a jewel cichlid good to go to new home.

Looking for some coral frags if anyone has any going?

7ofBrian · 14-03-2013 12:22pm

4 Rummynose tetras. Ideally would like to swap for apple snail.

Hey - I'd buy the 4 Rummynose from you if you were interested in selling them or swap for some bogwood pieces/Java Fern Windelov? I'm looking to add to my group of 10 in my 180.

changing things around a little - have one large angel and one large gold gourami available to swap. Open to swaps for most things! - plants/cichlids/community fish/wood etc

ericl · 17-04-2013 9:34pm

Would anybody be interested in swapping me anything for a 6-7 inch

Mad barb/Cigar shark.

redzone · 04-05-2013 12:50am

Hi,

I new to all this and have just bought a second hand tank, it came with a large fish that I have no need for.

I have forgotten its name (possibly 'Pleseris' or something sounding like that) it is black and about 8-10 inches long and looks like a cross between a shark and a catfish.

I fear that if I add other smaller fish it will bully or eat them.

Free to anyone who would like to have it. Just send me a PM. It's in Newbridge, Kildare.

Pleco? If so, feel free to add almost any other tropical freshwater fish. These are non aggressive algae eaters and are compatible with mist fish of any size.

redzone · 04-05-2013 1:16am

Thanks for the reply 7ofBrian.

It's not a Pleco, this fish swims mainly in the mid and top levels, it has a wide head and mouth and its eyes are large and far apart.

redzone · 04-05-2013 9:04am

I have discovered what my unidentified fish is.

Its an Asian Shark Catfish (Tropical aquarium fishes by Dick Mills- page 234). It says it should be kept in a reasonably large tank with similar sized fish as it will eat anything else it can fit in its mouth.

I want to begin a community tank of smaller varities so this has to go.

FREE to anyone who would have a use for it in their aquarium.

Just send me a PM.

Thanks for reading.

fungun · 08-05-2013 9:54pm

I believe my apple snails have spawned. That or Ive an infestation of small snails all of a sudden with no new things put into the tank.
So might have some available if people want them in a bit. Once they are large enough so Im sure they are Apple snails :pac:

Jaxxy · 14-05-2013 9:54pm

Hi folks,

My Mam has to get rid of her big tank and she would like some of her big fish to go to good homes. It's a very established tank and some of these guys are at least five years old. Don't ask me how they managed to get as big as they did, but it is a healthy environment, with plenty of breeding.

What we have:
2 x Plecos (the "little" one is approximately 14 inches top to tail)
1 x Black Ghost Knifefish (approximately 12 inches)
1 x Jack Dempsey
(Approx)10 x matured Yellow Labs, at least two of the females are holding
2 x Silver Dollars

Both the Plecos and the Dollars are 5+ years. The Dollars are best pals (no idea of their sex but have never seen them breed) and the Plecos have their own territories and as such are rarely aggressive toward each other. The smaller Labs often enjoy the cover the Plecos provide them with.

I've attached pics of the Knifefish and the little Pleco. Apologies for quality, took them on my phone and had to feed them to get everyone out of their hidey-holes. If you are interested in giving any of these guys a home please let me know. Not looking for anything in return, just the knowledge that they'll be looked after well.

Alkers · 14-05-2013 10:19pm

Where abouts are you located?
I have two silver Dollars already, I could take your pair also.

Oh that would be lovely for them!

I'm in D15 area. To warn you though, they are pretty big.

Alkers · 14-05-2013 11:00pm

My pair are at least 6" long and tall. How much bigger than that are we talking? I finish my finals on Friday so could collect them after that.

Jaxxy · 15-05-2013 12:02am

No bigger than that. Sounds great, will PM.

fungun · 16-05-2013 9:31am

I have my own breeding yellow labs in a 450L cichlid tank so Id be happy & willing to take in some fresh blood!

If you were stuck & really wanted to get rid of them I could maybe take a pleco but i have big one already in my cichlid tank and not sure whether a second would be a good idea. I also have a 190L tank which could maybe take a small pleco but might be too small a tank for the size of yours

fungun · 17-05-2013 7:49pm

Thanks Jaxxy; fish collected. The tank was lovely, seems a shame in some ways to be dismantling, though I understand why!!

Very welcome fungun, thanks so much for coming out. And keep me updated!

Jaxxy · 18-05-2013 1:01pm

For some reason I can't edit my original post, but all fish are now gone. Thanks guys for coming out, I hope the transition went well for everyone. Sorry I didn't get to meet you myself but my Mam is very happy.

Thanks again!

these are gone to their new home, big thank you to sleepy :cool:

Sleepy · 20-05-2013 1:24pm

Cheers eg6_vtec, they're settling in well though I think the bullied Gourami may have been a little further stressed by the move. Have him in a breeder box to give him some peace and hoping for the best.

eg6 vtec · 20-05-2013 1:25pm

with a bit of lick he will be ok, thanks again

oldat31 · 20-05-2013 7:48pm

Hea all Iv a 120ltr jewel and cabinet. It comes with filter, heater and lights..

Iv no use for it so if anyone has anything worth swapping then shout me.

Heres a link to the advert... http://www.adverts.ie/pet-accessories/jewel-aquarium-fish-tank-with-cabinet/3127279

kylith · 20-05-2013 11:40pm

Nothing to swap, but it's just what I'm looking for. How much would you take for it?

oldat31 · 21-05-2013 12:00am

HI just sent you a pm.... Let me know. And BTW im open to Neg's

fungun · 21-05-2013 10:44am

open to negging?

kylith · 21-05-2013 11:14am

If you have any apple snails I might take one in a while.

Kylith - yes I have some apple snails if you fancy them. About 50 of the buggers but they are still teeny weeny.

Im still not 100% sure they are apple snails and not an infestation!

But I think they are!

kylith · 21-05-2013 3:24pm

I would definitely take a snail off you. If they do turn out to be pests let me know; I might be able to fish out an assassin or two for you.

kylith · 21-05-2013 4:41pm

Thanks to the lovely Oldat31 and his tank my leaky one is now up for grabs. Willing to swap for livestock, plants, or some cash. Includes integral filter, a lovely 3d background and, if you want, the gravel too.

fungun · 21-05-2013 4:56pm

i have assassins in there so i think they are apple snail babies....

a leaky tank, eh? Tempting......

Sleepy · 21-05-2013 5:18pm

Amazed you're not draining it, fixing it and setting up another tank!

kylith · 21-05-2013 6:44pm

I've tried to reseal it several times, but I just don't seem to have the skills. Even if I managed to get it to stop leaking I'd always be worried about it, so better to let it go to someone who can either fix it properly, or can find some other use for it.

oldat31 · 21-05-2013 6:52pm

Kylith, what livestock have you got?

joe90 · 21-05-2013 7:06pm

Hi all,

Looking for some Malaysian Trumpet Snails

if anyone has some to sell, based in cork.

Cheers.

Ahh ok, I have 4 juvi Jack Dempsey, I would have thrown in 1 with the tank but he would pick your lil guys to death.

7ofBrian · 21-05-2013 11:31pm
