Hi Everyone, I've tried to offer these on here before a long time ago but didn't really get anywhere. IF I remember rightly I did get an offer but due to home problems I wasn't able to go through with the transaction.

I have lost a few since then and am down to 6.

I feel pretty bad about trying to get rid of these fish but the truth is we never wanted to end up with them in the first place. We ended up with them due to a misunderstanding, or con, while buying a fish tank. It’s been about 3 years since then and my dad has finally put his foot down and said he wants a more relaxing tank in his living room. I've always had dreams of a planted tank and he's going to put a bit of money into the project so would be great to finally have a clean slate to work with.

I know very little about them, so the pictures will have to do most of the talking. Basically there are 6 fish in all, two more impressive specimens and 4 duller animals which have grown up in the tank. These may be dull purely because they are still young, or be bad example that would have been killed off by proper breeders, or I have my suspicions that they may be hybrids. But I don't know enough to say anything definite.

All of them are in good health but a couple of the younger fish do have some damage to their tail and fins due to being chased by the dominant adult.

I'd be very grateful if these fish could go to a good home with someone who properly knows how to look after them ,and who should be in the tank with who.

Also anyone who does take them is more than welcome to the rocks and sand in the tank if they would like them, as they will not be used by me in the future.


I've not been on here for about 2 years. I had no idea it had been that long, but its mainly because my two tanks have been pretty constant. our LFS closed down around that time so there haven't been any really additions to the tanks since then :rolleyes: but if I do manage to find a new home for these fish then I imagine I'll be back posting again.

Also due to me being away for so long my PM's don't seem to be working, not too sure why as I must be well over the minimum post count but hopefully i'll get that sorted.

These have now gone a new home, not to anyone on this forum though. Not one interested party here :no:

Which is a shame because I'd of much rather they had gone to someoen on here, who I'd seen about and could be updated from.

However, I think they have gone to a good home and now I can start work on the planted tank.
