Psychodelic Mandarine Goby FS in PA, VA, WV

[aquariumrookie]

I have a Psychodelic Mandarine Goby that I just picked up but need to get rid of him until my tank becomes more established. He's eating fine and is very healthy, but I am fearful that his natural food source will run out eventually. He's an awesome looking fish and I wish I could keep him but I'll probably just buy one later on when my tank is better established. Asking $20-what I paid for him. I am located near Hagerstown MD, Harrisburg PA area on the weekends and the Charlottesville, VA areas during the week. I could meet somebody anywhere around there if the schedules are right, I would just have to transport him to VA if necessary.

Have you thought about buying some copepods to seed your tank with? You can pour some directly into the fuge and/ or tank and you can use some to culture your own so you'll have an ongoing supply for the cutie, that's what we do. They multiply like crazy!

Somebody told me that they had like $20 wrapped up a week just to feed the fish. Innaccurate?

Sorry about the bad pic but its the only one I have. I'll be home from college this weekend and if nobody decides that they want it I will just trade it in at a fish store on Saturday. Hate to get rid of him, he's awesome.

About $20 bucks out of pocket for the initial batch but you can culture them in mason jars with some phytonplankton and a small air pump for a bit of circulation. As they multiply, you divide the batch to the next jar and so on.... I'd hate to see you get rid of him, he's (looks like a male from the first dorsal fin) beautiful, and they are so entertaining to watch but if you think you must, would you consider shipping?
