My Zip is 44099.

I live 5 mins from Monster Fish Rescue. I would still rather rehome them to a Loacaholic. My son doesn't want me to get rid of the fishies, but my loach bug has passed. I'm still trying to figure out if my clowns would be compatible with natives.

I'm glad everyone is offering help ...

Anybody here that wants my clowns, angelicus, and lone zebra

Anybody here that wants my clowns, angelicus, and lone zebra, please contact me. I would really like for them to go to a loving home that can care for them. I will only offer them to someone who is willing to pick them up.

I live 1 hour East of Cleveland.

PM me.

Grass Pickerel (Esox americanus vermiculatus) seldomly exceed 10 inches in an aquarium or 12 inches in the wild. Perfect Esox species for aquaria, Mine are only about 6 inches.

A few of the native fish I collected have had internal / external parasites, so you never know where they come from. PM me for more info on finding darters.

Frozen Bloodworm
Frozen Brine Shrimp
Frozen Mosquito Larvae
Frozen Mysis Shrimp
Freeze Dried Daphnia
Freeze Dried Krill

A few have eaten flake, but I feed that so the Pimephales promelas don't eat as much of the good stuff. The hillies still seem to be out and ...
