Hi All,

I am having to sell my fish whilst I am working away from home for a few months, the better half is not well versed in fish care so I am taking this course of action as I don't want to see them suffer.

I have left:

4 x Male Rotkeil Sevs
3 x Geophagus Red Head Tapajos (2 are suspected long term pair, but only seen eggs once, before the sevs ate them all)
1 x Geophagus Dicrozoster (suspected, bought as tapajos but is not! Has the black Y banding on the underside of head)
1 x BN (female, small)

They're all adults, call it £10 each, less per fish if more than one is bought, up for negoiation.

The BN can go for free

All to be picked up from Norwich only, no posting.

I need rid by mid July at the latest Sad

Here's a vid:


Apologies for the algae infested tank, the glass hasn't been cleaned for a good long while. Still gets a 70% water change weekly.

The 2 Tapajos you see are the suspected pair, you also see 2 of the sevs (both males) and the suspected Dicrozoster at the end

No one interested and local to me? I am willing to negotiate on these already low prices, I do need to re-home these fish...

UPDATE

It's very likely that the Geo's have found a new home all being well.

However I still haven't found homes for the Sevs, and they need to be gone by end of Thursday at the latest to allow me to have time to shut the tank down and clean it up before I am off.

I really can't travel to deliver or arrange postage at this late stage (too much on) but will give the fish away to anyone who can come to my door and pick them up, like mentioned the fish need to go as my family/folks are not able to tend to their needs whilst I am away for work for weeks at a time.

Remaining 3 fish euthanatized as no-one would take them Sad This will be the first and last time I work away for a month at a time, I had hoped there would be more interest locally to take the fish or at the very least a shop willing to take them...I know what to expect next time.

I'll be restocking once I start a new contract, possibly late september to mid october, expecting to go with 1 or 2 Oscars but am toying with a Snakehead or some other oddball type fish...I am going to keep bigger and fewer fish once I restock tough, that is certain.

Cheers

So sorry to hear that you couldn't find them somewhere Sad If I had been local I would have taken them for you.
It sucks that even a shop wouldn't take them either Sad

Atleast I rehomed all the geos and 1 of the sevs...they'll all be staying together and joining another couple geos in a nice 400 tank Smile

But yeah it sucks to have to do what I did, I've had to remove dead fish in the past but not been the one to do the deed before....not nice. Although I can't help but feel if they had gone to a shop they would have suffered anyway...
