Hi there,
You guys on this forum have been a fantastic help with my recent emergency.

I have been badly advised on fish by my local shop and have ended up with some very unhappy fish. What I now have are the left overs of a few "murders".
So I am now giving away loads of my fish, asap to a good home. I don't want to return them to the shop, where they will just get resold to a bad home.
I have a plan for my tanks (thanks to you guys) but now I need to rehome way I have and start fresh.

I have 2 tanks but at the moment I have a zoo in there of mixed species.
I live in Sevenoaks Kent, TN13 if anyone wants fish asap.

Who wants a young knifefish? I cannot keep it in this tank and it is being bullied by the barbs.
I have 2 angelfish to rehome.
2 rainbow fish. (one red female, one bosemans)
1 african dwarf frog (not clawed)
Various male guppies.

Thanks!
 
No, I wrote about it previously on another page. Here is what I wrote....
Hi there,
I am just getting into keeping fish and so far it has been a bit of a disaster!
Initially I took advice from aquatics shops, but it has only led to a lot of mismatched and then dead fish.
So now I need your help please!
What I have now are 2 tanks. Neither have a good mix of fish, as I have had to move some fish into the smaller tank to save them from being killed in the larger tank.

My larger tank is 120lts and has these fish in it: (PS: I know I need to get a bigger one before the fish grow. )
1 knife fish 8cm long (don't know what kind- black body, white tail tip)(I love it, but I am worried, as his tail looks a bit ribbony at the end? Is that normal, or has he been bitten?) (The odessa barbs are mean)
1 bichir 156cm long (don't know what kind)(All my danios disappeared- did he eat them?)
5 tiger barbs (mean)
6 odessa barbs (very mean)
3 weather loaches (easy and never had an issue with them)
2 plecs (lovely and easy)
then.... the odd ones out....
1 angel fish (I was sold 3- 1 died within a few days, the other is now in the small tank.)
1 female fighter fish (I was sold 3 for the small tank. The male died soon after purchase, the larger female started attacking this one, so I tried to rehome it, but it was returned to me after it killed its new tank mates fish)(I had to put it somewhere, so it had to go here.)

My other tank is only 60lts: I cannot replace this tank, so I need to be sure everything will fit into this- or be rehomed.
African dwarf frog (not clawed frog)(had him for about 8 months. Are they normally thin bodied?) (and rather stupid)
small plec
5 neon tetras
angel fish (small, but can't go in larger tank, as I am scared it will get killed-it got stressed in there and had white spot and was bitten. it is 100% better now.)
siamese fighter female.
6 male guppies

So my main concern is figuring out how to keep the fish from killing each other or getting stressed out.
My favourites are the angels, fighters, bichir and I love the knife fish.
The water parameters are all fine and I do a 10-20% change each week. I have live plants in them and loads of hiding places etc.

What do I need to rehome to keep the fish I love happy.
Thanks!

I have changed a few bits round this morning and I am off now to get a few bits and bobs for the 3rd tank.
I will let you know what happens.
But so far I might manage to keep all the fish for now, but just get bigger tanks sooner than I was wanting to.
