Arrow Livestock for sale

With school coming to an end, I am needing to sell off my tanks and livestock. I am going to sell the fish first. They are in a 220 gallon, which will be for sale at a later time. All prices are negotiable! Also Im doing my best to guess the actual size of these fish.

10" Dussumieri Tang Rare! Needs to be in a tank of at least 220 gallons. $200





6" Australian Harlequin Tusk $75





8" Hawaiian Black Triggerfish $50





24" Goldflake Morray Eel (gymnothorax miliaris) Rare $150




30" Adult Snowflake Eel (No Picture) $50
4" Undulate Triggerfish (Very mean and needs to be in its own tank) Free

About 200+ #s of liverock that is from a FO tank so its not the prettiest (no coraline) however there are a couple nice big pieces. $150
I will have a few tanks for sale after livestock is sold also the equipment will be for sale.

Too bad, it looks like you have the right sized tank for that tang

I do however have a vlamingii, a hippo, and 4 yellows. So the tank size isn't the whole story. I just can't get enough tangs.

Thanks for the compliments everyone... And feel free to make offers I just want them to go to good homes. The tang is spoken for as of right now.

Is the trigger ok for a reef. I know most are not, but some are. Do you have any inverts in with him?

The trigger should be alright in a reef tank. The only problem is that he might eat some of the hermits if you have any and he is really hungry. I had him in a tank with a baseball sized hermit and he didnt bother it at all.
The rock is spoken for at the time being so Ill let you know.

My buddy wants the eel. He has a 350g. My question is this: can you put this eel and a snowflake of similar size in the same tank? My eel experience is limited at best.
Thanks!

Yeah, If you look at the bottom of the post, I am also selling a full grown snowflake eel. They have been pals for a long time and get along great. Most eels will get along fine as long as you dont mix the aggressive ones with the more passive ones.

Is the harlequin tusk spoken for? How is he on the aggressive scale? I have a 300g and that's the one other fish I would like to add but my emperor is a little on the aggressive side with anyone new.

Thanks.

Man...the Undulate Trigger is my favorite of the triggers. Too bad I don't have a 50 gallon laying around to set up for him...

The tang, goldflake moray and the harlequin tusk are all sold.

js_bass, which trigger are you talking about? The hawaiian black trigger would need at least a tank of 125 gallons. The undulated trigger would be fine in a 90gal, however it would have to be the only fish in the tank because they are very aggressive.

ZLTFUL, I have a 75gallon tank that I would sell you ;-)

Update: I have the Two Triggers left and the snowflake eel. I am willing to let these go for free as long as they go to a good home. As soon as these are gone I can sell the equipment.

Thanks
