i've had it up to here with him, hes ruining my tank.
he thinks hes the big dog and just generally mucks around in there, digging in the gravel and stuff.
hes also very vicious. he killed a small plec i put in a few weeks ago, and im sure hes been eating some of the other fishes eggs.
the worst thing though, is that when i go to feed them or clean the tanbk, he comes right up to the glass and tries to stare me out!
hes got a very mean look on him, i know its stupid, but it unsettles me.
my tv watching chair is also pretty close to the tank, so while im watching television he will come up and press his face against the glass, which makes me feel very uncomfortable, so much so that ive started finding excuses not to watch tv etc.
i feel daft getting intimidated by a fish thats a couple of inches long!! so ive decided to get rid of him.
at first i though about executing him, ive been told that putting him in the freezer is the most humane method?
ive since been convinced not to go down that route for the time being, so ive come to ask advice here.
how can i go about getting him re-homed? is there such a thing as the rspca for fish?
unfortunately i cant take him back to the shop i bought him from, as we recently fell out over some bronze catfish.
thanks for any advice, im really at my wits end here

anyways good luck John, also most killi fish do eat other fish eggs, as do all other fish, and are you 100% certain that it was him who killed the pleco? I mean you may have bought an unhealthy one and just not've realized it... I've done that many times in the past and thought it was a fish killing them so I sat there for hours on ends just to watch the fist begin to twitch and die without ever coming in contact with my other fish...
