Hiya Folks,
As I mentioned at the meeting, we have someone that is looking to re-home some tanks and equipment.
He is down in Brockville, and would need someone to go down, help tear down the tanks, bag the fish and the take everything away.
There is a 65 gallon, 40 gallon, 32 gallon, 15 gallon, stand, and various other equipment.
Also, included are a group of Tropheus chipimbi, julidochromis transcriptus gombe, lamprologus similis, neolamprologus compressiceps, Ophthalmotilapia boops, O. nasutus, xenotilapia ornatipinnis and others. Also a mixed tank with some ram and red rainbows, and others..
If there is anyone interested in some or potentially all of this, he is offering to give it away to whomever can take it.
If you are interested, and want to go get it, I can provide the contact info for him.
He needs it moved on or prior to the Thanksgiving weekend.
Jody
Are there stands with any of them? I think I'm interested in either the 30 or 40, and all the equipment with them, maybe some other equipment depending what there is
He said there is a stand or for the 65 and 40. Now I am not sure if it is one each or one for the two.
He is looking to get everything taken. So hopefully a couple of people can work together to go get everything and split it
Jody
Alright well then I'll take the 40 and stand and filters or whatever and if the 65 is part of the same stand then I'll take that too, did he mention what other items like filters and stuff that he had?
I would be interested in the Tropheus chipimbi (how many in the group?)
Also the neolamprologus compressiceps.(quantity)
Looks like a great selection of Tanganyikan Cichlids.
I am headed out of town for a couple of weeks but will check back in October.
thanks;
I would be interested in ram, red rainbow and other community fishes.
He is available for us to go down this Sunday.
I can take one person down, and if someone else with a vehicle that can load stuff up is able to go down, we can arrange a time.
Please let me know if you are
A. Interested in some free fish stuff
B. Available to go help
C. Have a vehicle capable of moving some tanks or other large items.
First choices go to those able to help out.
Jody
I'm sure we could help with moving a bit, but I'm definitely interested in the tanks
I would be interested in the Tropheus chipimbi, xenotilapia ornatipinnis, and the red rainbows.
I am available to tag along and help this Sunday.
Okay, lots of interest.
Who is willing to drive down and has a vehicle that can hold a couple of tanks?
Obviously, there is a lot of interest in certain fish, so we will have to make sure we can share them fairly.
I would like to leave Ottawa by about 9 am, so we can get everything done and still have a bit of the day.
Jody
Sadly it looks like I may be busy this weekend and won't be able to pick up any tanks, but if I'm available I'll let you know
Obviously, it goes without saying, that paid club members get priority...
Okay, so the plan is to go down Sunday morning.
We can meet up at Big Al's at 9 am and leave from there.
I can take the work van down, and one passenger. We should be able to load everything in that, but a second vehicle that can load some stuff would be decent to have.
I figure no more than 3 other people going down, as I don't know the space we have to work in.
The first three members (assuming one has a vehicle) that post here that they are in will be the ones to go.
Jody
I can come and help out Sunday morning. If I can grab the spot in the van that would be awesome.
Cheers,
Matt
Actually, let's make the meet up by Critter jungle at 9 Sunday.
That way it is more on the way.
Jody
that works for me. See you on Sunday
Just saw there was a 15 available that I might take dibs on depending on condition
I would be interested in a pair of Similis if it is no problem.
Okay for those that are interested there are the following terms up for grabs
Pick up today is best or could be arranged to be dropped off today depending where you are
90 gal plus stand
Various job filters
45 gallon plus stand (center brace is broken)
Group of tropheus
Some feather fins
Julie transcripts
Rams
The tropheus are gone and there is interest in the 90 gallon.
Jody
I am still interested in the Rams if nobody takes them yet.
Depending on the filters I'll take them, any canister filters? Does the 45 gallon still work?
The 45 gallon still works, but you may want to put a bit of a euro brace in just in case
Jody
I have someone interested in the 90
There is someone asking about the 45
The fish and big equipment are gone.
I will be going through some of the smaller equipment this week and will post it in the members classifieds.
Jody
Thanks for going through all the stuff Jody :)
Yeah thanks for doing all this work
No problem.
I am hoping to find a few goodies in the boxes that I still need to go through.
Jody
