I'm sure this must have been a very hard decision. Wishing you the best for the future.

Are you still interested in the Bettas? I am taking them to the December PVAS meeting tomorrow. If you can be there you can have them. If not I will be putting them in the auction. Need to get their tank empty.

Things can be viewed/picked up at my home in Gaithersburg, MD. I am more interested in finding good homes than payment. You, or anyone interested in something, can text me at 240 618-6377 to arrange a time.

Any day after Thanksgiving I should be available. The sooner the better. You can text me at 240 618-6377 John

Going to really miss pvas

Will also have various terrariums, bird cages, animal cages available. I will post a fish list in the next few days.

Male doadrioi should all have the gold band unless they are very unhappy. Based on your photos I would guess they are either eiseni or lyonsi (very difficult to tell apart by sight). Feed them good and keep them clean with water changes and see if they change and gold shows up on the males. It is very important to always include collection data when passing on fish if you have it,

Auction has ended. Hope some of you got some good deals.

Sorry. Something wrong with the link above. I will try to figure out what and post correct link below. In the meantime you may be able to find it at rasmus.com auction id R240448. Click sign up, or sign in. Scroll down a little and there is a box on the right "search auctions". Type in R240448.

Very easy to raise. You can feed them with a large variety of things. I use whatever I happen to have. Right now I am using turtle food pellets since I had a bunch left after my last turtle passed. I have also used Various other reptile pellets and/or whatever fish food pellets I happen to have. Add a small amount of food to the culture every day or so. Amount will depend on the size of your container. If the culture starts to smell you overfed. Just add some fresh water (I use straight tap water) and don't feed for a few days. I remove a turkey baster of culture from each jar ( mostly quart to half gallon size) and use it to feed things. Top off the cultures with tap water every few days. This way they are getting small frequent water changes. When feeding your fish just pour the rotifer right in. Being freshwater they will live until eaten. I bring some to pretty much every auction. If you are going to be at the meeting next month and want some let me know. I will bring an extra bag for you. John

Probably me - John Mangan. Questions about them?

The Tag Sale is for dry goods (auction is only live items). People enter items into it at a set price. You can browse and buy during the auction.

I have pretty much used up my budget for this month. If you still have them next month I could offer $5 each for them.

If you are able to bring fish to the PVAS meeting I can offer $1 each for the flagfish , $2 each for the blue pandas, and $1.50 each for the cumana. Let me know if this is ok with you. If yes let me know what you are bringing so I have enough cash on me to pay you. thanks John

I could use up to about 10 of each. How much would you like for them? Delivery to the meeting would work.

Had a couple of different species many years ago. Males have a little more color in the fins. Kept mine in a 5 gallon tank so it was easier for them to find food. Never saw any aggression. If I remember right they breed in small caves like a pvc tube. Would love to try them again.

If you haven't checked this out yet I encourage you to do so. Auction closes on Tuesday. Lots of stuff at give away prices. For example: at the time I am writing this, you can potentially get an Aqueon 29 gallon boxed kit for less than a dollar, full size like new condition refriderator for less than a dollar. Plus lots more

If anyone is interested make me a reasonable offer

Not really a pond fish, even though you can keep them in a pond. I would consider them other.
