Hey guys.
I'm hoping that maybe some people have some extra equipment or something and can help out a guy named Glenn.
Here's the story:
I had a Pacu who of course outgrew my 55, then outgrew my 125. He was 24" long. My first post on these forums was asking if anyone had accomodations for him. I had tried calling local aquariums but "amazon exhibit is already full" is what i got.
A man named Glenn fortunately lived 20 minutes away and took him. Very nice guy, helped to get him out of the tank and got soaked in the process!
Any how, I sent Glenn an email a few minutes ago to see how he was doing with the big pacu.
This is what he replied:
Well it's good that your other fish are enjoying their
freedom. I have thought abpout naming the fish "the
wrecking ball". Within three days it destroyed my
glass cover, splitting it almost exactly in two. Fun
trying to find broken glass in a full aquarium. Then
on the 3rd I came home from my night teaching job,
turned the light on, and it spooked, rammed the end
just right and YES kept going. The 150 burst all over
and the water-gravel -plants-rocks-heaters-filters
went everywhere. Initial reaction is to try and stop
the water. What?????????? Wasn't thinking straight.
Finally got hold of "TWB" and the Pleco and threw them
into the 90g. Friday & Saturday were spent getting
rid of 150 pieces and drying out. They hate the 90g
and is toooooo small. I have been swapping out 15-20g
water daily to help quality. Finally went out and
bought used 180g but it needs to be altered and won't
be ready for about a week. If nothing else the fish
has made my life interesting.....Good luck at RWC

I gave this guy a fish that completely ruined his tank and the room that the tank was in! I sent him another email apologizing and seeing if there was anything i could do to help. He said don't worry about it! I feel terrible for this guy!
I am a college student, i'm going back up to RI tomorrow morning. I was hoping that there was maybe something that we could do for this guy. Maybe someone has some left over aquarium equipment? I don't know, anyone have a huge glass tank in CT that they are trying to sell?
Anything?!?!
