We have a Black Moor and several butterfly oriental goldfish available for sale. They range in body size from 3-5" with long flowing luxuriant tails. They simply have outgrown our tanks (16 and 29 gallon) We have had these fish from 1-2.5 years, and are priced from $40 - $80 in fish stores. We are negotiable on price and they are available immediately.

On one hand I am going

Yet,

On the other hand I would most probably hook this person up with a full on set up and introduce them to both mfk and ac so that they could journey on in their wet pet adventure.

I have found that it is much easier to laugh about others than to actually do something to assist them. Though I most defnitely would not be giving out my home address and number .

Personally I don't think I'd want to add to the ability of them keeping MORE fish in an

"un caring enviorment"

haha

 

[chefjamesscott]

then it would seem you missed the part about introducing them to these forums where they could learn to create a caring environment. I am pretty sure they are talking about other fish eating the babies.

Edit: I got a call once to go rehome a tank of fish that the person felt they could no longer care for.

When I got there, the term simple would be what I would use to describe this household and the people who lived there. You should see what they wanted me to rehome.

The dude was 63 years old and was giving me his steel frame 5g tank that he had lovingly kept guppies in ever since he was dating his wife when they were teenagers. Over the course of time he had constantly been rehoming them but the ones that were in the tank were all crooked spined and messed up, but they were his babies. To his credit though he did have some form of live plant and did do monthly water changes with water that he had let stand for a week or so. The guppies were messed up due to inbreeding I would suppose.

End deal I got a super cool antique side table that went with the tank, the tank, and some really really antique fish keeping supplies that I could put in a museum.

Now this may sound harsh, but the guppies made really nice snacks for my other fish simply because they really needed to be culled.

Large Jack Dempsey cichlid. He is about 7+ inches in length. He would do well with fish that are equal in size. He will eat small fish. I feed him cichlid food, and minnows. Feel free to ask any other questions. There is a $45 re-homing fee.
