Free established community tank

[Eva Personett]

Hi!   I'm  moving to Texas in 2 weeks and need my well established, 20 gallon long fish tank to go to a great new home.  I have had this fish tank for 4 years and it has brought a lot of joy to me and my family.  Sadly, I can't take it with me to the next house.  Anyone interested?

It is a very heavily planted tank, containing 2 cherry barbs, a plecko, a honey gourami, a platty, roughly 7 green neon tetras, 4 kuhli loaches, a fancy guppy, and 4 rosy loaches.  Along with the 20 gallon tank, I have the  supplies that go with it, including 2 fluval stingray lights.  I live in Shoreline, Washington, about 7 minutes from the Aquaroium Co-op.

I recently moved cross-country.

Just for the sake of your emotions, I have a suggestion. Perhaps you could manage to take a single favorite fish? If you're flying, maybe you could mail it to yourself? Fish are regularly mailed, so maybe. Or at least a favorite plant? They're certainly more durable than animals in the mail or in luggage. You could wrap it in damp paper towels, in a ziploc, and just stick it wherever it won't get smooshed and won't freeze. 

Whether by mail or by wheels, the 72 hour heat packs that ACO sells could be really helpful. I used a bunch while traveling.

Just trying to help you not have to let go of everything. ❤️ 

By the way, if the limitation at the next house is the landlord/lease, it's worth reading the fine print. Sometimes it speaks of dogs and cats, but doesn't specify other pets by species. Hello, loophole. Or it might specify a number of gallons per tank as your limitation. Perhaps you could have a durable, reasonably clear tote instead of glass, so the landlord won't be scared of a break. If nothing else, you could put a plant in a smallish strong container and call it a houseplant... that chances to have a snail. Oops - how'd that get in there?! I don't advocate for being a knucklehead, but seriously, sometimes landlords just simply have no idea that a tank doesn't have to pose any danger at all to their property. They do have a right to protect the structure, but really, they just don't know it's not a problem.

Hi I am so sorry you have to leave your tank behind 😞

I just wanted to let you know that posting aquarium livestock or equipment, to give away or for sale is against the rules of the forum. I personally don't care if someone posts equipment or livestock to give away, but I would hate for you to get in trouble with the moderators.

Sorry to see you're having to part with your tank. You can definitely see the love and attention put into the fish and plants. Hope the next part of your journey is blessed and you can return to the first world soon.

Thanks for the heads up, I didn't know that.  Someone reached out from the forum interested in the fish tank so I will be giving the tank and fish away to him.

@Eva Personett good luck with your move. Glad someone is able to take your tank. I'm sure that is something of a stress reliever.

Good luck with the move @Eva Personett and just FYI to whoever takes the tank, that's a female thicklipped gourami and not a honey gourami, so if you get her friends someday make sure it's a thicklipped and not a honey. My female thicklipped eventually got tired of my honeys and began to chase my male! Very fun and sweet fish otherwise, just know what you're getting 🙂
