1. *****YOU MUST TAKE THE ENTIRE SETUP FOR ANY GUVEN SPECIES LISTED. I also have a ton of FREE ROCK… So take as much or as little as you like****.

5. *Be punctual, have EXACT CASH, OR BE WILLING TO PAY VIA THE ZELLE APP. NO OTHER PAYMENT TYPES will be taken and I won’t be making change.

6. LASTLY******Do your OWN RESEARCH prior to reaching out if interested in any of the fish-I’m not replying with a bunch of pics and such-all my fish are extremely healthy and have always been very well cared for… I’ve been an avid aquarist for decades and this has been a major passion of mine. The internet is full of info about all fish listed (I have included official names so you can easily research/look for pics). I’ve sold multiple generations of raised fish born in my tanks frequently to a couple local fish stores for many years now but will be moving out of state, so everything must go. If you buy multiple setups, I’m more than willing and happy to offer price reductions.

7. ****you will need to bring help and ALL NEEDED TRANSPORT SUPPLIES/materials. I will not supply bags, containers or other means of moving the fish and such. *****

8. THE LIST OF WHATS FOR SALE FREE ITEMS AS WELL- first come first serve- no holds without full payment.

NOTE TO ANYONE WANTING “JUST THE FISH” - HE PRICE IS THE SAME!!!! Tank and anything “included “ should be considered free, so don’t ask me to lower the listed prices because you only want the fish. I’m not playing a barter game here. Just don’t bother responding to my ad please if that’s the case. Species I’ve listed are a real bargain compared to what you’ll pay retail, and that’s if you can even find them locally. Tanganyikan cichlids aren’t commonly carried by many places in houston.

Arturo will occasionally chase Katarin, but it's more of a game now..... they've been together nearly 3yrs now. consider Katarina as the cleanup crew(eats scraps that Arturo leaves behind

Info about both puffers & their respective setups:
***Gorgeous 3yr old tanks with stands and included 4 chamber canister filter per tank.

• The price on these size puffers would easily be $200+ in a store - I want to ensure they go to caring owners, hence the amazing deal on complete setups.
• Each fish is 3yrs old approximately…. I raised them from babies(each was about the size of quarters when I got them)***
• These two need to go to good homes with knowledgeable aquarists. Easy to care for but will require regular water changes and filter cleaning. Simple diets (fahaka is a mix of frozen raw shrimp, earthworms, and live snails (for beak maintenance as well as an occasional treat of small crab or crawdad, though I do this rarely). The fugu loves raw frozen shrimp and raw frozen scallops… occasional snails- they supposedly also love ocean crustaceans but I’ve never gotten him to eat them.
• Both are tong-fed and sweethearts.
