6 days ago the front wall of my 175 gallon failed suddenly. The basement flooded with fish, aqua soil, and plants. I’ve lost all my fish. Spent the entire week cleaning and crying. I don’t have the will or money to start over.

I can split this into packages if it means it gets sold. Asking 100 shipped for the entire lot. Banana for scale.

Drift wood for sale as well. Local pickup only.

Found four medium-sized boxes of living aquarium fish in bags. Looks like seven fish; I can see them swimming around but am reluctant even to lift some of the bags out of the boxes. As soon as I saw these were living fish the point was to find some type of rescue ASAP. Happy to take them anywhere (ideally east metro Atlanta) that can at least take care of them before passing them on to new homes. They're all 5 inches long, at least two different species. I know nothing about aquarium fish; I'm a bit frantic since the best I can do for them is keep them in the house, in the bags they came in, in water that looks like it needs to be changed. Thank you.

UPDATE: Thank you everybody! 30K people saw this post in 10 hours and three great people stepped forward to offer forever homes for the fish. I just dropped them all off with the first person who offered, Miles, who lives 20 minutes away from me. He's an experienced fish caretaker, and he's even going to keep me updated with photos on how well they do. And as of now they're all doing great. So, to everyone, thank you again for all your help!

. . . and, if you ever happen to think about it, consider taking a quick glance in dumpsters at places like public libraries, where thoughtless people, sometimes, incredibly, discard beautiful and precious things.

As aquarists, we all have a deep and profound respect and understanding of our delicate aquatic ecosystems, and with that respect comes a responsibility to protect them. It appears as though a large commercial supplier of marimo moss balls has been affected by a zebra mussel infestation, with many reports from customers saying that they have found these invasive species in their purchases. Right now, there is no way to tell how widespread this is or how long it has been going on.

Zebra mussels are an incredibly invasive species and wreak absolute havoc on ecosystems that they are introduced to. We all share a responsibility to protect those ecosystems.

As such, we cannot allow this trading platform to become a vector for the spread of this species, and we are banning the sale of marimo algae (Aegagropila linnaei) until further notice.

Thank you for your understanding.
