I Need Help Please

[snowy1802]

I moved into a house a year ago and the previous owner had a pond in which i found 15 baby fish that he didint want, so i have looked after them but unfortunatly I am moving and really dont want to leave them behind (they all have names lol)

So what advice i need is can i put Shebumkins and golden orfs in a tank and what size would i need and also will i need a pump and filter.

Any help u can give me would really help

Sorry, but you really can't keep shubunkins or orfe in a tank; it would have to be HUGE (probably 8 foot long at least)

These are pond fish and won't be happy or healthy in a tank. The only thing you can do is build another pond at your new place. I guess you could possibly keep them in a large water vat or something for a couple of days, but that would be it.

Really ponds should have some kind of filtration system too, and regular water changes if you want the fish to be happy and reach their full potential.

Sorry I can't be more positive; I understand how attached you can get

Aww, I'm so sorry; I don't have a pond either There's a classified section further down this forum or there's a site called 'Aquarist Classified' where you can advertise them for free. Hope you find Bob and his pals a great new home

Do they have to be re-homed - maybe the next occupants will come to love them as much as you?
