I want these tetras gone at this point but wanna get something out of it. I have them up for 3$ per queen. You will receive the exact amount of colony’s also(50). If I were to sell them all for 3$ each the price amount I would get would be 150$ and the amount for 2 mini hearths is around 80$. If you want to do the deal and get them you can do what ever you want with them like sell them for more. I will also do 25 queens for a hearth to. Thanks! I also lose 70$… which is fine lol.

Wow, that's an insane deal. I don't have any mini hearths though sadly.

Umm, but who exactly would want 50 tetra colonies? One or two can be quite the handful in less than a year – let alone 50. I think you'd be better off selling them to people individually (although that may take awhile).

yea it will take a long time but they are so much work and it takes hours to feed them all but I don’t wanna kill them cause I wanna get something out of them. Also someone can buy them and sell them on there shop if they want. The trader can do whatever with them.
