I'll start out saying I have a 56 gallon tank with a very nice 6 inch female GT(I think it's a female). Absolutely beautiful fish with very vivid colors.She is very purple with the green markings like a GT should have. He's with a little 3 inch Rotkeil Sev which also has beautiful red marking on it's fins and dark blue worming. Also for dithers are 5 giant danios which also have vivid coloring. I think two are female actually because their stomachs stick out a bit like a guppy does when about to lay fry.

Now to everyone's opinions. I want to get new fish, not because I don't like these ones just because I want to experience the different attitudes, colors, shape, interactiveness of different fish. I want to see how different fish live. I've always been interested in the Pikes and also to have some Native Fish and an EBJD and to own some of the many many many types of plecos. Of course not all in one tank but over time. I would sell these fish and use the money to buy whatever new fish I wanted to have. Not to any person, someone I can trust and know they will be in good hands. I have other tanks, 125,56,55,29,20 long but I'm living with the parents and the washer/dryer/fish room is getting full so no more tanks.

In your opinion, does this sound like I'm selling out or anything like that? Please be honest I want your opinions. Thanks.:D
 
I don't think you are selling out, why cant we have different fish, why do we have to keep the same fish for years on end? I mean I have grown fond of my fish but I think there comes a time when a person need a change.

and if you are going to give it to some one that would really look after them and not just give them to a pet shop or some thing like that then I think it is a great idea to try some thing new
 
I understand what you are doing, I personally don't see anything wrong with it.
 
hmmm i keep my fish until they die ..... my cichlids are my 10 year commitment, once you get rid of it, you can't get it back, if i gave away a fish of mine i know it won't be looked after as good as i have and may aswell just kill it.

Why, is that what your conscience is telling you?

No, but what does your conscience tell you about my question.:D

I don't think so, I just want new fish. With all of the fish in the world how can I experience them all if I have to keep my fish for 10 years.

more tanks, or bigger tanks. lol always seems to do the trick. but i understand your problem w/ no more space. do what you want as they're your fish, just find good places to re-home to. nothing worse than getting rid of a beloved fish and find out they killed it.
