Glasshalffull Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 Hi guys/gals I'm tired of fighting my wife over the tank so I'm going to be tearing it down and selling off what I have. My main question is what in yalls opinion would be the best way to go about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brolly33 Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 I recommend buying her a diamond and keep the tank. svetilda, jem_xxiii, Allicat and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glasshalffull Posted July 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 I wish is was that easy I only have the one tank but by her calculations I've sank about 2500 into and it's only a ten gallon I've had it up and going for about 2 yrs and it's been a fight the whole time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allicat Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 That sucks. My boyfriend just gets that my hobbies are part of the package. If you've already put that much money into it how much more do you need to spend? Your not going to get back nearly what you spent. It just seems silly to me [emoji853]. If you must, maybe try the marketplace here? Or see what a local fish store might offer for your stock/ setup. I also have sold old tanks on Craigslist.

Glasshalffull Posted July 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 One of my biggest issues is I have tons of babies literally probably over a 100 when I tear it down I'd like to do it all at one time but I've got nobody locally that would buy them and I'm not sure how I would catch to ship them it's a mixed tank of mischlings tibees, Taitibees and Tbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenteam Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 When I got into the hobby I told my wife this is not to make money it's because I enjoy it, but in the end a happy wife is a happy home so best of luck in future hobbies. You can post a sale on the market section for shrimps and equipment can easily be sold in local craigslist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Man, that's rough. I'm sorry to hear that, man. You could try to make a deal with someone in the hobby that you send the shrimp, and in the future they send some back to you when you laid low long enough. If that's not possible AB or the marketplace here will sell. For emergency "get it out now" you can do a raok or several raoks here. Again, sorry to hear the situation you are in. I remember someone stating they made a deal with the wife. Whatever they spent on their hobby, the wife could spend the same on what she wanted. Seemed to work out well.

Lyana Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 That's messed up. I have 13 tanks and my husband even built me a big stand for 4 for them. If he told me I had to get rid of them that wouldn't go over well at all. But if you have to I think on here would be a good place if you're willing to ship, or craigslist if you don't want to mess with shipping.
