We sold our 95 gallon fish tank!

Posted on June 11, 2026 by jjspina

I mentioned before that we were going to sell our fish tank. Well, we finally did to a lovely mother and son. We sold it on FB Marketplace. We had never sold anything there before and would recommend doing it. Great place to connect with buyers.

John has since set up a smaller tank with the remaining four fish and an anemone that I featured here before. Now we have a large area to fill in our foyer. It feels strange not to have the fish there but John doesn’t miss all the work to take care of the fish.

Here are some photos of the empty tank and before with all our fish. Sad to say goodbye.

So many memories of all the fish we had that we will always remember with fondness. I have kept one of our saltwater creatures alive in my book, Clarence Henry the Hermit Crab.
