Looking for an ALBINO PACU APPROX. 5-6 INCHES+!

[Wildbynature757]

Hi everyone!

I am not sure if this is where I post the WANTED posts but I thought I'd give it a try here

Anyway, sadly, my current albino pacu has developed a tumor of some sort right behind his eye. This tumor is slowly pushing his eye out of his socket (I will post photos if I am allowed). The tumor is growing and I am afraid that it will soon grow to his brain, killing him.

So I am now sadly (and quite unwantingly) looking for a new albino pacu. I would like him to be "Charles" length that he currently is now which is about 5-6+ inches.
If you have one for sale and is willing to SHIP him/her to NEW YORK (or is located in NY or NJ) please message me here on this post or email me at Heavensentforeva@gmail.com!!

I am also NOT looking to spend $300+ on an albino. I bought Charles locally for $85 so please do not contact me if you are asking for over $100!

THANK YOU GUYS!!!

Omg how long has it been like that and what have u been using to treat it?

The last thing you want is to be looking for a new fish - From what I can see - that is a very serious infection / fungus caused by fighting with the Oscar, and probably the other Pacu biting part of his mouth off - And hopefully the cloudy water is just from the camera - Get your tank under control (if possible) before you even think about new fish.

I have multiple other fish in the tank and no one else has this fungus or parasite. Is there a possible way that only one of the fish can have this fungus or parasite? And his mouth is like that because he smashed his face into the glass. I've been putting treatment in the tank but nothing has worked. IF THERE IS A POSSIBLE WAY TO SAVE HIM PLEASE HELP ME!! I have been using salts and Melafix as well as other treatments...

I've been trying to fix this for months and it's gotten worse. When we first bought him the fish keeper dropped him onto the floor.. He also smashed his face on the glass when we first got him and it never healed. I've been using Melafix and salts as well as other treatments. The water condition has been tested and is fine. IF THERE IS A WAY TO SAVE HIM PLEASE HELP!

Its pretty bad I dont think it will heal and if it does it will be blind from one eye. Put it by itself and treat it with salt and some type of parasite fungus medication if thats what u want to do personally I would freeze it and dump it and just get me another one when available.
