ive decided these are not the fish for me, and now they are all healing nicely and re-growing tails/fins and eating like pigs i am looking to rehome them, but i dont want to hand them back to the lfs incase they end up back in that terrible condition.
at the moment they are measuring approx 14,16 and 18 inches, and are still growing. they will need a huge tank, i would say 180 minimum as they are fast swimmers and very active. all im looking for is the amount i paid for them when they were in that bad way, which is £20 each, though will take £50 ovno for the trio as i just want to find them a good home. if they dont get rehomed soon, i will look into taking them to the lfs, purely as i struggle to do any maintenance on the tank as once the water level drops by any significant amount, they start to jump and thrash, and i cant remove the stuff from the tank before i do maintenance so that they cant hurt themselves as im too short, and i dont have the strength to catch and remove the fish by myself either. all in all, definately not the fish for me, im going to set up a community tank instead once these guys have gone. i dont want to split the trio as they are very close now, and stick to each other all the time. so the price of £50 ono is for all 3, whatever food i have left and the new big net we just brought for them.
