Hello everyone. This is my first thread on this forum. I have some unfortunate business to attend to on this first post, but here goes...
With massive regret I am having to re-home my 22" approx Giraffe Catfish who is outgrowing his 700l tank (Rena Aqualife 200). The problem is the tank is only 20" deep (front to back) so he needs to be in a 2.5ft or 3ft deep tank. Despite the tank being over 6ft long.
He WILL grow bigger so he will only go to someone who can demonstrate they have a good and suitable home for him.
He has been my very tame pet for about 4 years (2" when I got him!). In fact I would go as far as to say he is part of the family.
Does anyone have a suitable tank/tropical pond or know anyone who could offer him a good home with plenty of space? Great fish in perfect condition. Tolerant of everything else in my tank from small Gouramis to big Tiger Oscars.
He feeds from hand at the surface every night. Takes most food but eats mainly Cichlid Gold pellets (lots of them!). Currently he is in quite soft water as I do 300l water changes each weekend with RO Water, but he used to be in quite hard water. He's very hardy and will adapt to anything.
He does have a name! "Ronnie" and he is a youtube video taken last year. He's bigger now by about 4" I would say:

If anyone can help or point me in the right direction I would be very gratefull. I am not looking for any money for him as its more important I am happy he goes to the right tank/home.
I am in Northants (UK) but willing to travel within reason if it means he gets to the right home.
