i have a problem

[snailmaster]

i have a bunch of firemouth fry and i had a store that bought them of me. and the only other store is pet co. the problem is the guy who bought them off me isnt buying cichlids any more. so iv posted them on craigslist and iv had some responses but then people decide not to get them. so i have two options feed them or wait it out what does everyone think?

 

[snailmaster]

by "feed them" i mean to my other fish.

yeah, i would just feed them to something bigger, i have to start something like that so my jaguar can have a balanced diet again

Is there not another LFS in your area that might take them off your hands?

petco haha besides that no the other pet store that would take the fish had a fire and went out of business sadly it was the best store around

If you can't house them, and have nowhere to take them, looks like feeding them is the only option. It's not inhumane just do it.

 

[sostoudt]

you could always just give them to the guy. i hate killing the fry i raised

 

[swede]

have you tried giving them away to fellow mfk members through the classifieds?

yeah i cant keep them and they are the right size were i can feed them but if they bigger i would have no way of keeping them so i have been feeding some to my other fish but iv still got a lot.

the lfs guy? if so hes not buying or taking and cichlids and petco would just be a slow horrible death. and yeah i feel the same way but its not that bad.

i have never shipped fish. i would have to research it before i tried. i might look into it thanks for the suggestion though.
