Gutting. Sorry to hear about that.

Oh Wills I am so sorry, , can anyone put any fish up for you till you get a bigger tank or are you sticking to the 240?

 

[Wills]

Just sticking to the 240 for good now might get an other mid sized tank at some point for a few more fish I want a SAP tank next I think. But thats a good few months off just yet.

Oh no So sorry to read this, it's very bad of the seller to not be straight with you. This sort of thing has always put me off buying second hand tanks.
Hopefully you'll be able to get another big tank in the future, but I understand at the moment you're just p£s£ed off with it all. Fish are not as relaxing as they are made out to be, are they.

I actually think that the seller didnt realise that the tank was cracked either that or it happened as they started to move it but there was just no way I could move it.

Its not an ideal situation but Im not as bummed about it as I might have been as the rainbows and the L75 were on the move anyway and Im still not 100% on moving the sevs if I am honest I know people might say the tank is a little small but for the 2 severus they are getting on fine but the gold might have an inveitable new home at some point but see how it goes.

I'm reading about too much rehoming of late, sad to see but you gotta do what you gotta do...

What is a SAP tank? South American something??? Something acrylic something?

South American Puffers...

But my LFS has irrubesco and salivator Red Eye Puffers in and I'm so tempted by them!

Pretty true that.... Ive been really beating my self up about it today just because I know I should have known better.

And yeah Goat is right its the puffers

It's very well looking back with hindsight but realistically this can happen to the best of us, just one of those things. All you can hope is that the fish get a good home somewhere.

I'll likely be rehoming my HRP breeding pair as it's painful watching them breed and then proceed to terrorise their own young plus continuous fry is very messy! I can't have anymore tanks in the flat, so am forced to have fry and adults in with each other...I tried moving just the dad and then both parents to the main tank, but they then proceeded to really upset everyone else in there...My male FM will also go at some point I think as he doesn't fit in with my SA's, I want to keep him as he was my first cichlid but only time will tell...

As much as I like CA aggression (hamfist's chosen route) I couldn't justify big aggressors in a 5ft'er, so I will be staying firmly in the land of SA fish...I would want a 6ft min tank for that sort of action to go on, just my opinion though...


Those red eyed puffers do look interesting, real characters from what I've read...very smart and rewarding to keep

Yeah this is the third time this year I have shuffled fish around again!
