Unfortunately due to lack of time i have to get out of discus keeping for a while. My work commitments mean that i now have less time at home to give my discus the proper care they deserve.

So this means i am selling all of my discus and the tanks they are in.

at the moment i don't have a mobile cause i lost it over the weeknd so you can only contact me here for the time being.

pick up only, first in best dressed, i cannot ship and i will give discounts for bulk purchases otherwise all prices are firm.

here is the list which will be followed by pictures.

5" Brown - SOLD
4" Red Melon (confirmed female) - SOLD
5" Pigeon Blood - SOLD
7" male Pigeon Blood and 6" female Pigeon Blood breeding pair - SOLD
4" Red Rose (confirmed female) - SOLD
4" male Pigeon blood and 4" female pigeon blood breeding pair - SOLD
5" snake skin (confrimed female) - SOLD
5" spotted snake skin x 2 - SOLD

tanks are:
2 x 2ft cubes - glass with bevveled (spelling?) edges
tanks have no visible major scratches and do not leak
they are both in a 4x2x2 stand that has been stained and is in excellent condition
2 ehiem filters (can't remember model but will check when i get home today)
2 300 watt heaters (can't remember brand)
there is some other stuff there like some gravel etc that i will throw in also

i have had the set up ruinning now for about 3 years without any problems at all

i'm after $400 for the whole set up and of course i cannot sell until all fish have been sold

thanks
matt

the 5" pigeon blood

Mattzilla
Mon Mar 27, 2006, 02:34 AM
the large pigeon blood breeding pair.

PLEASE NOTE that they have not bred for me as i have not given them the appropriate breeding conditions.

they continually clean surfaces and i am sure that if they had their own tank they would breed without any problems ( i recently was about to set up a small breeding tank for them but then my work conditions changed). they did breed for the previous owners

THESE DISCUS ARE MONSTERS! the male is easily the biggest discus i have ever seen in person. THE FIRST PEOPLE TO SEE THESE WILL BUY

the female red rose

Mattzilla
Mon Mar 27, 2006, 02:44 AM
the smaller pigeon blood breeding pair

please note that they have not bred for me although they did spawn to wrigglet stage with the previous owner.

once again for the same reasons - ie i have not given them their own tank or the appropriate breeding conditions

female snak skin

given regular w/c she will spawn at least once a week with any discus that will join her....male or female she doesn't care. she will even spawn by herself if no-one wants to play with her hahaha

please note that the two pictures are the same fish. on pic she is in full sun light and the other she is in full breeding colours

a stunning fish

Mattzilla
Mon Mar 27, 2006, 02:50 AM
finally the 2 spotted snale skins

one has full body spots and the other doesn't quiet have full body cover. they are from the same spawn and although i am unsure of their sex they have shown signs of pairing in the past. PLEASE NOTE i am not selling them as a breeding pair as i am unsure of their sex

Matt, what are the size of the eheim filters? are you willing to sell one or both depending on price & the heaters? I live in Miranda so picking em up is no problem.

Mattzilla
Wed Mar 29, 2006, 07:41 AM
they are the 2213 and 2215 models

i don't want to seperate the tank set up at this stage cause i have a couple of people coming over in the next week to look at buying the whole lot.

i'll seperate if nonone is interested
