This time, I will leave the country for good and
I have to part with my beloved plant tank that
took me years to get running.  It is a great
occasion for you to get full grown, healthy
specimen.  As a matter of fact, I have to trim
and throw away plants every other week during the
summer.

So, let's get started;

For sale:
FISH:

* 4 fancy Goldfish (3-4 inches): $5-10 each
* 2 otocinclus: $5 each

PLANTS:
* one gigantic Amazon Sword, 30 inches high, with
about five off-shots.  Presently occupying about
a third of my 40 gallon tank.  Asking $40.  Truly
magnificent.

* one large Amazon Sword, 20 inches high:  $10.

* one red Melon Sword:  $15.

* Echinodorus Osiris:  one root, two crowns, $20.

* Ludwigllia: $5 a bunch.  A very fast grower.

* Aponogedon Crispus (I think): $10.  A delicate looking
but hardy specimen.

* Large Cryptocorynes.  Dark red leaves with pink
undesides.  About 15 inches high. $10 each.

* two Sagittaria:  $5 each.

* miscelleneous: Java Moss, A. tellenus, Hygrophillia Polysp.
Name your price.

IMPORTANT NOTE:  You will never find plants so large and so
healthy in any fish store.  This is your chance to benefit
from my years of growing them with Dupla products.

HARDWARE:

* 12"(depth) x 24"(heigh) x 36"(length) glass tank: $20.

* tank stand: $50.

* two fluorescent stripes: $25 and $10.

* small air pumps:  Wisper 100 and Hagen Elite 800, $5 each.

* power head:  Penguin 550, $10.

* undergravel filter 12"x 36":  $8.

* Power canister filter:  Eheim 2213, mint condition, $50.

* pre-filter:  Super Brilliant Tetra sponge, $8.

* mechanical filter medium:  Ehfifix-Grob (2x40g), $4.

* biological filter media:  Matrix (250mL), $5.
                            Ehfisubstrat (1.5L), $15.

* chemical filter medium:  Chemi-Pure, never used (sealed
container), $6.

NOTE:  I will sell in a logical order.  For instance, I won't
sell the stand before the tank, or the lights before the
plants, or the tank before the fish... you got it.

I also have a lot of small goodies that I would sell
you for a few bucks, like an algae scrapper, a black
acrylic background, tubes, laterite, gravel etc.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS:  Absolutely no return.  You
can come to my home to see and buy what you like, or
you can drop by my lab on the UWM campus to discuss
the sale.  If necessary, I can deliver on campus but
I rather avoid that because it could stress the plants
and fish unnecessarily.  I would rather give you a ride
to my place.
