Hello you lot!

I am in dire need of some help. I have a tiny rainbowfish (see this thread)
http://www.fishforums.net/index.php?/topic/323709-unidentified-fry-in-my-tank-any-ideas/page__p__2687696__fromsearch__1&#entry2687696

I have raised it up to about an inch in size now, and he is eating well, and looks very healthy. The only problem is that this guy is in an 8 litre tank. It was originally only supposed to be a shrimp/snail tank, but he snuck in as an egg on some plants.

I don't have room in my current place to run another tank to grow him out, and I cannot add him to my main tank, as at his current size he will be no more than a snack.

Sooooo, what I need is for someone near me with an established tank(I live during the week in Reading, and near Horsham at weekends) to look after the little guy until he is big enough to be put into my main tank. 2inchs+ should be big enough I reckon.

I know its an odd request, but this guy's egg clung onto plants through cleaning in tap water, and ended up growing into a pretty little fish in a tiny tank. He survived numerous water changes done via syphon before i realised he was even there. I have grown quite attached to him, I think I might actually name him!

Can you help?
 
I'd take him, and put him in my 50g with my Praecox, but think I'm too far away in Suffolk :lol:

Amazing story though - hardy little guys aren't they!
