So as seen on another post I am looking at a new tank set up and have in my mind what I want litre wise and equipment.
I have seen a second hand aquarium come up thats about an hour and a half drive away. Price is great, but he wants to sell the fish before he lets the tank go (obviously).
As it happens the tank is stocked with around 22no juveniles - not mbuna as I had originally set my heart on but some Tropheus.
I'm half minded to say I will take the tank and fish, but aside from thinking about bags, heat mats and polystyrene boxes would it be too much of a rush job to keep fish in them without bottled oxygen in bags, transport, fill tank, get to temperature and ensure filter media doesnt tank it?
Perhaps better to wait for him to sell fish, at risk of someone taking the aquarium too....
