I found a man selling his 60 gallon tank recently on Craigslist.com However I could not afford his entire set up. In stead I made a meager offer of what I could afford to spend. 40$ is all i had allotted. All I wanted was some of the fish and plants in his tank. I drove out the 40 miles to his home and walked in. He gave me 2 discus, 2 Neon tetras, 4 mollies, 1 large val with two runners. a large crypt, a small sword and some horn wort. He also gave me what he had left of his liquid fertilizers which is only a few doses of API leaf Zone, but hey... I was happy with my purchase... and I helped out someone two (he needed to sell ASAP because he was moving to Israel).

The man was very generous and I am currently drip acclimating the Discus. They are going into my 29g tank for the time being but are intended for my dad for xmas (for his 40 gallon tank). They will later need a larger tank... at a later date they will have a 60 gallon tank...

Thanks for reading,
Any comments, criticism, etc is welcome!
