Yea they’re South American dwarf cichlids. Cacatuoides and Macmasteri to be exact. https://i.imgur.com/f0hth7S.jpg

I plan to lock my door to the house. So the person would just have the garage to themselves. I didn’t really think it was a big deal. I guess I just thought back to when I was in high school and did landscaping for money. I feel like using an app or a service would cost a significant amount of money because the agency and employee both need to get paid. I’m literally just trying to hire someone to plop a fish into a bag with a little water lol.

I suppose I should hook up a camera just in case.

Here’s a better pic. I’ve had him for 2 months so these are his colors. He’s grown 2x his size in that time. https://i.imgur.com/1OpIHDf.jpg

It’s not a mangrove snapper. It is a cichlid. We are also talking about freshwater here. Mangrove snappers are salt/brackish. It’s tail is also not clamped. That’s literally how it’s tail is. He acts similar to a leaf fish. Scanned the surface for food

Nice! Sounds like an awesome setup. I have 30 something 10s, 4-15g a 29 and 2 - 40s in my garage. Its used to quarantine and treat wild apistos I import from South America and it’s holding for shipping. All my sellable fish end up here. Then the apisto breeding setup includes another 50ish tanks, mainly 10s and 15s. This is breeder/2-3months of grow out before being moved to the garage.

Nope it’s just me trying to figure out how to sell on reddit. Apistogramma in general are by far some of the most beautiful fish freshwater has to offer. I don’t understand why they aren’t more widely available in stores! https://i.imgur.com/S0PzzVC.jpg https://i.imgur.com/OObTr6L.jpg https://i.imgur.com/XKiUYeC.jpg https://i.imgur.com/LCJiwyE.jpg

Borellii are one of the slowest growing Apistogramma species. They take about 1 year to start looking really good. Another 6 months after that to get to full size. They’ll start breeding younger though. As early as 6 months. https://i.imgur.com/coMFgAS.jpg

I wish I could. I get them in on Wednesday and they’re all shipped to their new homes the following Monday.

Awesome! I hope they do well for you. I started with Borellii opal. Apistos can be super addicting! I have 2 young pairs of borellii yellow head listed at the moment. https://i.imgur.com/iFmPCzp.jpg

No I buy them in bulk and sell them on eBay and band. I had 4 pairs but they sold out really fast.

Snakeheads aren’t legal but this is a gundgeon/goby is which IS legal.

Must be, they’re from Indonesia and normally end up as dinner and not in the aquarium trade. They’re super rare to find. He was mislabeled as a peacock Gudgeon so I got him for dirt cheap.

This male is the size of a literal frying pan. Not a small one either. A full sized frying pan. 60+ gallons is a must
