    Re home the fish to a pet shop and sell the tank on its own .

    None of those fish can live in that size tank and you dont even have the right ratio of fish .

    tetras for 1 needs to be in groups of 6 plus and school with there own species and 20 gallons plus .

    I can pick up a 55 gallon tank that is 6 months old on a stand with a Canister filter that is 6 months old a Fluval 405 live plants ornaments Gravel ,and a 2 liter container of Aqua safe for 100 pounds .

    What your asking is far too much for what it is .

    Your tank is 50L the one i looked at today was 55 gallons .big difference and tanks go cheap second hand .

    I can also pick up a 180 gallon tank that is drilled as its a reef tank for 200 pounds and that includes a stand Skimmer sump .

    So ask about 20 and maybe .

    Likely the reason is that people want to get the type of fish that they like.

    Find out what the tank cost and ask 3/4ths of that/w the gravel/filter/heaters

    fish net and water conditioner...it will sell then. Pet shops here don't usually

    buy from other than wholesale places cause they are run by corporations

    which require them to because of fish diseases etc. But the small mom and

    pop type shops(which are usually cluttered up) sometimes do buy fish.

    They will only pay wholesale for them. They may also try to get you to

    accept store credit for them which is not what you want.

    Funny thing is that it's "the size" which I like but I'm in the U.S.A.

    Return the fish to the store, they should not be in that samll of a tank. they can not wait in there very long.

    Try craigslist, It is free, local people will look, people who could come and pick up the tank or evan the fish. People do not shop for tanks or live fish on ebay as much because the shipping is not worth it.

    Well if we look at it in a technical way, summing everything up that is included, the total price would have to range from 90£-150£!

    Whatever price you choose, make sure that all the items are in a good enough condition that someone would buy it for that price.

    Good luck (:
