If he/she can arrange for him to be shipped, i would gladly take him off your hands.

Well, 1 week before i went to the hosipital ( thats anoter story i dont wana tell, worst week of my life ). My dad decided to feed my fish 108large goldfish from petsmart. Its the thought that counts, but my fish ended up etiehr throwing the food up and me not being home which means no way to get it out or w/c.. or they got so many diseases....

They broke out with ich, ulcers, worms, parasites, lice, you name it.

I treated the tank for 4 weeks, they looked to be getting better than they all just lost it the day I came home from the hospital

:(

Matt, Does your post say 108 large goldfish? Do you ever come up to the panhandle of Florida? I could drive 1 hour or so. Shipping is difficult for such a large fish. I know Mei's fish made it. We have Delta Air Cargo here in Mobile. I think shipping is $80. You would have to pay for this. I know this is about the same price a Silver would cost you at a petshop.
 
Very nice fish Matt. Too bad they are gone.
 
a touching story, sorry for yr lost bro....

RIP to an aro pair.
What an unfortunate series of events. Parents can do such stupid and avoidable things and kill off our fish.

i know it was highly unlikely, but I believe these fish were male and female.
They would almost never leave eachothers side and the bigger one wouldnt tuch food untill the smaller one got some first.
 
108 goldfish, about the worst thing for your pet that I can think of. They are almost all fat and like you said can carry parasites. I bet a Nile croc would have a hard time getting these down. My big aro eats about 8 shrimp every other day or so and he is fine, but hungry. The jar also eats 3 shrimp but wants more.
