hi all bcm members,
i have a Redtail Catfish for sale or trade.
right now, at aquatics unlimited, there is a SEVERLY injured one, they want $35 for, and is roughly 1 1/2" (i can show you where if need be...the tiny 1'x1' plexiglass tanks, near shrimp.)
i paid $40 for mine when he was 1", and since then he has grown to about 7"
he/she is not a picky eater once he is situated in a tank, and eats w/e he can get his jaw around. normally, i feed him either feeder goldfish, or throw in peices of cooked/steak chicken. hell, he even eats ring bologna.
I just dont have the room for this guy anymore, i switched out my fish tank to 'smaller' fish, and hes to big of a bully torwards bite size fish/snails.
I'de estimate his value at $50 easy im lookin for like $40 b/c he is VERY nicly colored, and pretty large.
here is a pic of roughly the size, and color of my fish (not actual) http://www.birdsill.com/red_tail.jpg
Im open to any offers, but really, i want to trade for;
cichlids,
flourescent lights (4')
other oddball fish (i have a cichlid tank)
maybe decorations depending what they are
electric catfish, or smaller catfish.
shrimp, must be a lot of them and not clear.
if you have something you feel is more valuable than my fish, im willing to deal either way (up/down) and i dont expect to get a lot for him, i simply just want to trade him off for something, and know he's going somehwere nice.
Thanks! figured id'e post it here before he goes to a fishy store :(
edit; i forgot to mention, he would be fine in a tank with oscars, cichlids or other larger fish, but i have very small cichlids, and TINY catfish, and dont want to risk him eating fish. Ive had him in a tank with very small fish before, fish he could of ate, but did not. he really isnt a hunter, just if the oportunity comes by and he is hungry....
