Rescue section - Stop don't flush that fish

Postby Amp2020 » Sat Sep 03, 2011 12:28 am

Got a fish that you don't want? Post it here and find it a new home. Lots of folks simply flush their unwanted fish because they don't realize that there are other who are willing to take them. Even if they are babie guppies, give them a chance to grow in another tank. Freshwater fish are much easier to catch than saltwater fish. So there's no excuse for not being able to net them out before they die from neglect.

Things to include.
Fish description, condition it is in and it's size.
Your approximate location.
Available days or time for pickup.
Pictures are alway a good thing to have if you know how.

Be sure to also list it at Aquaticfriendsunited.forumotion.com

If you know of other sites that have a rescue section, please list them here to increase the possibilities of someone finding their fish a new home. Beware of jerks that just want your fish to feed to their cichlids or turtles. It's your responsibility to find out if the other person is trustworthy enough and honestly willing to offer your fish a good home.

Two red belly pacus 3.5" and 4" long. Friend of mine is wanting to switch to peaceful community fish and is tired of these two eating all the small fish. They are herbivores and should be fed plenty of algae wafers and fresh greens. But they will also chow down on any small and slow fish that can fit in their mouth. Currently in a 150 gallon tank and will eventually need a 200-300 gallon tank or indoor pond.They are fat and in perfect health. Thanks to a diet of neon tetras and platies. :cry: Located in Shortpump. I'll help out with catching and transporting the fish with in reason. Email or PM to schedule a pickup time.

If you are interested, I have 7 medium sized male peacocks that I need to re-home. They range in size from about 3-5 inches, and are available asap.
