Hello,
I am a Junior in High School and I'll be going to college relatively soon. My current setup is a 29g tank with...

8 Harlequin Rasbora
2 Cockatoo Apistogammas
2 German Blue Rams
6 Chain loaches

It is necessary for me to get rid of these fish as I can't leave them in my parents hands. I need to find some fish that I can easily sell or find a new home for. I was thinking either Guppies, or Convict Cichlids. Any Insight upon this matter? Thanks. :D

You can easily find new homes for the apistos and rams since they are popular, small, and colorful.

Make friends with your LFS and trade for store credit or just return them in good health for him to resell. Private shops are better at the than most chain stores.

Or just get a screensaver:ROFL:

:ROFL: Gives me flashbacks of Windows 98 when that was the screen saver EVERYONE had.

Anyways, I kind of want new fish anyways, mine don't like to breed. Which should I get, Guppies, Convicts, or something else?

make friends in the right places,

I'm also jr ( 11th grade ).

and I currently have 42 tanks, looks like some friends will be getting some free stuff when i move :)

on another note, just trade the fish in to the lfs, or sell them to people on mfk.

breed convicts, its cooler.

I had to trim my tanks down a bit when I went to school but I still had three in my dorm room. Now that I'm moving to a house that number gets to go back up :p
