Will Rehome Your Fish

Hi everyone

I've noticed threads like this on other pet forums and since I have had a reshuffle in my tanks I can rehome most small fish. The main rehome tank is a 125L mature tank running an Eheim 2213 external filter

I hate to see fish going back to LFS where they will either be sold on again or put in a "quarantine tank" (I bet this doesnt mean the same as one of our Q.Tanks.

My plan is to rehome the fish and regularly update lists on the forum so that everyone can see them and take their pick when they are ready, free of charge.

Obviously I may choose the add my fish to the list and substitute what may turn up.

They should be community fish so that I can mix and match and most will be considered.

I can collect within reasonable distance but not too far from me (pretty close to metrocentre).

Kevin

It's a good Idea. But most people need to find homes for large fish or aggressive fish. Oscars tend to need help the most I think.

I'm thinking that this may benefit new fishkeepers more than the experienced. I know from being a newbie a few years ago that you tend to jump in a little and sometimes get something you dont want (I bought guppies which I soon grew out of).

If this works out then I'll look into changing the rehome tank to something more substantial (Looking at a Rena Aqualife 260L but it's a little far away to collect), but rehoming large fish will restrict what I can take in as some will see small fish as food.
