V Sad Day

[fi.haz]

A friend of mine was going to give me her tank today along with her fish, as she had decided that she didn't want them any more, but she managed to break it instead - with the fish still in it
I only have a v small 25 litre tank, but have had to accomodate several tetras (neons & glowlights), 2 dannios, a guppy, a platy, an angel fish, a few that i can't identify & 2 plecs - 1 of which is about 8 inches long! (i think that's it but i may have missed a few out!) my tank is severely overcrowded &unfortunately several of the fish have died already
I don't know what to do with the larger plec - it can't stay in that little tank it can hardly turn round & i don't know anyone who will take it, I think there may be a few too many fish in there anyway, as I already had 3 glowlights, 6 silvertips & 2 guppys on top of all those that have moved in today and also I don't think she was taking very good care of the fish before, they don't look too healthy, and not just in a 'we've had our tank smashed, ended up all over the floor, then been put into tap water, taken in a car across a city then put into a new tank' kind of way.
sorry this is a really long post, just had a really stressful day & now feels like I'm watching them drop off one by one

Wow, that's sad. Only thing that I would know to do is to take them all to your lfs. I know you would like to keep them, but for the benefit of the fish,... give them to your lfs.

Agreed. That must feel awful, I break down so easily when it comes to fish.

A lot of times local stores will take bigger plecos... call one and ask?

Depending on what plec he is i could take him. See if you can get some id in the catfish section. And im only on hayling island.

were 8 deaths in total yesterday - 3 glowlights, 3 dannios (thought there were only 2, but found another) & 2 that looked like tetras but 3-4 times the size,
had to work today and was just thinking about how many more would be gone when i got back, but thankfully they were all ok, and looking a lot more settled
have spoken to lfs and he said he'll take the big plec, unless ginge wants it?
now i just have 2 look 4 a bigger tank on e bay, knew it was too good to be true - getting a 4' fully set up tank for nothing!

I work in southampton and would be happy to take him if you really have to rehome him. I have a 4ft Juwel 260 so more than enough space. Have a plec in there at the mo.

Just an offer of assistance.
