OK I have a second chance to possibly get a 20 gallon that the seller from ebay backed down on because I couldn't get there as soon as he wanted me there uh the next day. So now 3 months later he's trying to resell it to me...What would be a reasonable price to offer? It comes with:

20 Gal. Fish Tank Aquarium Complete Set up With Stand


It is a 20 gallon glass used tank (no leaks). It comes with a plastic black light canopy (with fluorescent bulb), thermometer, two air pumps, and an undergravel filteration system.

I am also including all the plants and aquarium decorations shown in the pictures. There are 5 fake plants, several large rocks, several pounds of gravel and a blue background.

And that's not all...three fish in the tank are also included in this sell. Two of them are shown in the picture. All these fish have been in the tank for more than a year. This means the tank's ecosystem is well-established and is ready for immediate additions!

Stand is made of wrought iron stand. It has few scratches in the paint.

Tank dimensions are: 16 1/2" tall x 24" long x 12" wide. The height of the tank (including the stand and the light canopy) is 58"

With this sell, you also get a fish net scoop, plastic tank scrubber, and a gravel vacuum cleaner.


Thanks folks, it's what I really want for the classroom heidi

50$ sounds good. You can find cheap 20gs everywhere now. Even 50 maybe too much.

I think its a good price, and with all that extra stuff its kinda a bargain. Do you know what the fish that come with it actually are ?

I would say 50 dollars also is a good price to pay.

I wouldn't pay any more than that. That 224gallon i was bidding on on ebay came with stand, heater, filter, powerhead, gravel,lighting, etc. And i won that for £100 ($180).

I had the same problem as you though, i couldn't pick it up within two days, so he threw it in a skip:#(

He threw it in a SKIP????

Any how - Houston I think $50 sounds ok, I wouldn't pay any more for a tank alone but with all the stuff its a pretty good deal.

I wish I could have a tank in my Classroom, actually I wish I had a classroom!!!!!

i am paying 20 each for a 20 long and high, and and either one or both have filters included, but i do agree, 50 does sound like a steal, all u need it water (what fish come with it)

Uh don't know what fish come with itasked him the first go round and he didn't know eitherI suspect they are probably goldfish My thought is if I don't "want" the fish I could uh do like I did with the common pleco I "won" with the 75 gallon Uh LFS who much credit would you give me for these fish I know that is bad, but if it isn't something I want or really have room for, then what else sounds good at least I'm not thinking fish shake I think I'll offer $40 and if he doesn't go for it then I'll up it to $50, sound good? Thanks ya'llHeidi
