Fish Swap/Giveaway Thread

tagrobert · 11th October 2007, 11:21 AM

Hi everyone,
i thought i might start a fish swap thread since i cant find any LFS that will take in my BGKF.
So post here if you have any fish you wish to swap
Good to see this thread is being used

its never too late deftone2k! i would love those loaches if you were in vic, do you think they will let me take them on a plane?
i made this thread so ppl can trade, but due to not enough traffic it was removed from being a sticky, so feel free to bump this thread once it disappears off the first three pages.
Add this thread to your sig so it can get a bit more publicity

{Ma Baker Edit: This thread is for swapping or giving fish away only. If you wish to trade you need to use the trading forums.}

Cool idea

I have about 6 1" long swordtail fry that anyone can have for free IF YOU CATCH THEM YOURSELF

Im in newcastle, specifically valentine. Most are black or a mixture of black and white (dalmation swordies ?) Also have around 5 bright orange swordtail fry but are less the 1 cm in length so give them a few weeks to grow if youd like to take them.

Dont even try and trade fish here if you live in Tassie as it is illegal and inland fisheries can fine you several thousands. Same goes for plants or any aquatic animal and reptile. Yes it sucks but deal with it.

IFS has had a change of heart/staff so we can give away our excess fishies.

Oki a bit late but here we go

1 x 10cm Clown Loach
2 x 4cm Clown Loach

Looking for a new home *sniff*

Im looking for some cory's, or SAE

Anything friendly and communal. These loaches are great value, the big one is more of a night fish but the 2 smaller ones love being out and about.

A bit feisty theys are

So we gotta swap the fish for other fish? I'd like those clown loaches but I don't have anything to swap with yet...maybe some of my bettas once they've grown a little more?

Deftone2k · 15th January 2008, 9:13 AM

Perhaps, or just grab some cory's and we'll meet in a dark shady area of a train station.

hehe

Id happily swap them for a few cory's thats for sure. These fish come nice and healthy, tbh im sad to see them go :'(

I could take em off your hands if you want, got a male red empress about 12cm if you want it.

Deftone2k · 15th January 2008, 2:54 PM

Everyone is coming out of the woodwork!

Ill chat to you Amran, how do you normally transport your fish (apart from bag of course)

Got a small plastic carry container?

chikku · 16th January 2008, 12:29 AM

WTF....????

How is anyone going to know if you trade your fish?

Is there any reason for it to be illegal ?

BLACK MARKET FISH TRADING THREAD FOR TASSIES??????

(Not that I have or want to trade fish, just sounded funny)

I think he means trade them interstate, I think it would be ok if you traded them between people in Tassie though (Someone please correct me if i'm wrong)

Never done it personally, not sure I'd be game too, but you can. Livefish.com.au courier them out for one.
