3-inch+ Red Turq Fry from Stendkers for sale

[DonMD]

I picked up a proven pair of red turqs from Hans last December. In February this year they were raising their first spawn:

They went free swimming Feb. 22 this year. Here's this spawn today, so they're not quite 4 months old. I've got a second spawn coming up on their heels, and I'm out of tank space, almost, and need to move these. They are all 3+ inches long, eating beef heart, flakes and FDBWs. Selling them for $25 each, or 5 for $100. Pickup in Fairfax, VA is easiest, but if you really want them, I can ship. I've done it before, can do it again. My reluctance to ship is due to the added time required to prepare the fish and shipping materials, etc.

The red turqs take longer than most to color up, but these are beginning to show some color in their bodies, and more in their fins:

I ship USPS Priority Express, because I can't get UPS to ship my fish from here. The USPS can't guarantee 1-day delivery to your area code. Sorry.

[Madaboutdiscus]

What about shipping to 40337?

The post office won't guarantee an overnight package to this zip code either . . . I'll have to try to find a UPS store around here that will accept live fish!

[Madaboutdiscus]

Wow that's crazy lol. I had my first bunch sent priority 2 day mail. They came dime size and acclimated pretty easily. We only lost 2 after they arrived I assumed shipping stress.

Yes, I can ship there. I can't pm you, maybe because you don't have more than 10 posts yet. Send me an email or pm with your email address to discuss.

New to the forum but a long time fish hobbyist.

I just bought 7 fish from Don 2 days ago. Don is a gentleman and very pleasant. His fish are amazing! Very active, healthy and are already eating out of my hands. I have only had them for 2 days! Don't hesitate to buy from Don. He is legit.

[KevinVA]

Hey Don,

I'm very interested in purchasing 5 of these beauties from you. I actually live in Gainesville, VA, so I'm literally a little ways down 66 from you. I learned of this opportunity from a friend of mine (and long time member on here), so I had to jump on this. Unfortunately, I've been a lurker, but not a contributor here, so I can't PM/e-mail you (not enough posts and all that). If you could, please PM me about this opportunity. I'd love to do purchase these Discus.

Thanks very much,

Kevin

[KevinVA]

Don, got your contact info from Al. I'll give you a call this afternoon.

Thanks again!

-Kevin

[Larry Grenier]

Keep us updated Kevin :-)

[Batman55]

Do you still have Discus for sale if so what types and price

[DonMD]

Yes, I do still have discus for sale, but I'm not shipping at the moment, local pick up only in the Washington DC area.

[Cyrus]

Hi Don, I live in Herndon area and would be interested in picking up some of your stock. Can you send me the type and price? Thanks!

[DonMD]

Hi, Cyrus,

Right now I have 9 Red Turquoise, the largest is just about 5 inches, the rest are 4+ inches. I'll sell them for $50 each. I also have 2 or three Stendker Tefes, adults, that I'd sell for $100 each. You can call me on my cell at 703-853-5559. Thanks, -Don

ps, if you'd like to come and have a look before buying, no problem, we'll just have to work out timing. My son just went through major surgery in Bethesda, and so I'm over there most of the time, but I do get back to the house to do tank maintenance.
