40 Gallon Tank OMGOSH!! Guess what I just found for FREE!!!!

I frequent a local facebook online yard sale page searching for tanks etc...There was a lady on their trying to sell her 40gal with everything including the fish...No one seemed interested and I held back on making an offer since I just got the 55gal weekend before last...

Well today I just happened to be on when she reposted it saying FREE!!! Evidently they are moving to the west coast and can't take it with them. She has 4 fish in it right now, all of which I am pretty sure are going to either need rehomed or added to etc. They include, a tetra, pink kissing gourami, a "catfish" (she doesn't know what kind) and shark of some kind.

I already called the locally owned LPS and asked them if they would house the shark and any of the others I may need to rehome and they were fine with it. (Good thing I found out I have a good friend who works there)...

I don't want to lose the cycle on this tank as she has had it set up for well over two years. So now I need to decide what and where to put it and put in it...From the looks of the picture it seems the stand is actually meant for a bigger tank. So maybe just maybe I will get lucky enough to score one to some day soon put my 75gal (hubby doesn't realize he is getting me for Christmas..haha) ..But even if it isn't I LOVE free!!! Here is a picture...

 

awesome find, when are you picking it up?

 

The price is right that's for sure.

 

I'm supposed to pick it up this friday, however I think I may try to talk the hubby into getting it tonight so there is no way I lose it to someone who decides to offer cash for it or something...lol...

AP you would know...could I fit Angels in this?

 

Wow, congrats on that deal!! You can at least be able to assure them that the fish will be taken care of. Now the hard part, who's moving in once they move in with you! hehehe

 

Holy cowz, free tank and free fishies! Great find!
Glad to hear the LFS will take any fishies that shouldn't be in there...

 

What a deal congratulations
my LFS had two 6 foot tanks that they asked me if I wanted them they were x display and I had first dibs but unfortunately they were just too big and Oliver very firmly said if I could carry them home I could have them but he wouldn't go to pick them up

He was right though they were way too big so they went to a fish rescue project instead it was nice of them to think of me though
