I have a few fish I would like to rehome. I posted a thing here and on CL. What are some ways you find homes for your fish? I don't want to drop them at the lfs.
 
I did no one wants my cichlids. I have sold fish before but this time im getting nothing.

2 uaru 5"
1 bolviana ram
1 dwarf African butterfly cichlid
1 female blue acara 4"

I sold a blue acara a year ago on cl but no luck this time.
 
I give my fish to a experienced fish keeper who in return will trade me another fish or buy. Or if I have to it will go to the lfs 300 display tank.
 
I posted my bichirs on here and on craigslist but no takers. Ended up giving them to a friend of mine who has a 250 gallon for free.
 
CL would be my last option, theres a bunch of weirdos on there who probably wont be able to take care of the fish
 
Ha I tried to give a fish away on here, no luck, I still have it. I'd worry about posting "free fish" on the craigger and having some yahoo come get it and do something funky to it, throw it in a lake, or stuff it in a smaller tank than mine.
 
Maybe talk to you LFS and let them know what you're looking to rehome, they do know all(or at least most) the fish keepers around and may know of some one that may take them off your hands. Dont expect to make a bunch of money unless its something rare.
