do any lfs's buy fw fish for anything?

[MarineTeng]

i've got nice fw fish and i just feel bad sending them off to the fish store especially for nothing, do any fish stores around here (bellevue) buy them, otherwise i'll offer them to anyone who wants to pick them up or trade for them, i've got these
African knifefish
Clownloach, a nice 6-7" one
Blue gourami- has 3 feelers and is about 5"
a Marble pleco keeping that annoying dark brown hair algae at bay
a common pleco
two pictus catfish about 5-6"

In my area a lfs will give you a credit for the fish if they are healthy and they feel they can sell them. On a $10 fish you might get $2.50. Sacramento, Ca

You should call around. Some stores have room for them, others do not. Large fish can be especially difficult to sell since the majority of customers in FW stores seem to think 20 gallons is a "huge" tank The clown loach you should look for a FW home directly, the mortality rate for loaches in stores is bad. They get ich and other diseases easily and can be killed by the chemicals used to treat it. You could also donate them to the freshwater club, if you PM me your email address I will give you a couple email addresses of people in that club. Also try Craig's List, lots of fish people read that and you might get decent money. A big clown loach retails at least at 15 bucks if not more.
