I have a lot of fish for sale. Most are not your bread-and-butter types, more like relatively unusual to rare fish. Some are relatively common but exceptionally good or very large specimens. It breaks my heart but I have no choice. The pictures shown are the actual specimens available.
I can not ship. Must pickup in Sharon, Massachusetts. In addition, I have a few tank stands for sale, both home-made (nice and elegant) and commercial metal stands.

Francisco,

What are you up to? Making room for more discus? Looks like you have quite the collection. Some really nice fish. I bet you have no problem selling most of those guys!

Hi John,

Unfortunately, it is quite a different story. My family is relocating to Cincinnati in early July and I have to vacate many areas of the house that I am currently spread upon, so I can clean carpets, paint, etc,...so the potential buyers can actually see the house. Everything has to go muy rapido. This is breaking my heart.
Once restablished, I hope to start with fish again (actually that is a given), but to be more specific towards discus. We will see how long the specificity will last.
So, anything strikes your fancy ???
Cheers, Francisco.

Hey Francisco could you post pictures and prices of the plecos you have? Also how much is shipping to AZ?
Best Regards,

Francisco,

I really don't have the room, though I would definitely buy some if I did. You might want to contact LFS and see if you can put some of the fish on consignment. If they give you a couple of tanks, you split the profit. That way you get the fish out of the house and make some cash.

Cincinati, eh? That's too bad, I guess no more get togethers at Al's for beer!
