What do you think is fair?

Maybe somebody in your area that's a MFK member will hold him for you...offer to pay for food.

What size tank do you have? I would want that clown but I already have one

Well the day has passed, the wonderful clown knife known to me for 2 years as Lurk has gone to a better place....um tank. He's with a friend so I have visitation rights which is nice. He was exchanged with a set up 10gal for a really nice ornate who's 6" and has very vibrant markings, big spots and he's got more of a vibrant yellow than any I've seen. Also a 10" fire eel.
So the gap in the tank is filled but I can't help but feel inadequate for parting with a fish I could no longer support, but it could have been much worse. We had a heck of a time moving him as he can REALLY jump, he got to lay in my bed for a bit so I'm currently doing laundry. I'll post some pics in the polypterus forum of the new additions on the asap. Thanks again for the input, ideas and support.

You did the right things so you don't need to feel bad, most people would have kept the knife enough though the tank was too small, and at least you can go and vist him, so don't worry.

what are you going to do when the bichir and fire eel get to big for your tank?

 

[elbeatch]

thats awhile down the road, by then I'll have a new tank, just for the next 6 mths while I'm in school I can't work very much, there's no way I could afford a new tank while working part time. But I've already got a supplier and a tank picked out when I've got the cash and a buyer for my tank
