Help needed - urgent home for sailfin and L191 (Broken Line

Post by Sp0oner »

Hi

my first post here and it's a plea for help for my pleco and panaque. Unfortunately my days of fish keeping are at an end after 10+ years (for a number of reasons) and having a buyer for my tank I need to rehome my fish.

Most have gone such as my loaches, shark and tiger barbs but I need to rehome my Sailfin, Broken Line Panaque, Rams and 2 Ruby Barbs. I want my Sailfin to go to a really good home with a big tank. I have considered rehoming him at Bournemouth Aquarium where they have a huge plec display but it is a very long drive for me and not an ideal journey for plec.

I thought I would ask here as I really don't like my last resort which is giving him to my local fish shop to rehome. He could be stuck there weeks/months in a barren small tank which I do not want him to have to go through. And then he could end up somewhere unsuitable.

Is anyone here insterested in taking him and or my L191? I am in Kent and only about 25 minutes from the M25. Also if anyone is interested in my others or knows anyone who may be please let me know so I don't have to take them to my local fish shop!

Many thanks for reading.

Sorry to hear that you are giving up fishkeeping - I hope you can find your way back sooner (rather than)/(or) later...

I could perhaps pick up your Panaque - I'm afraid the big won't have a good home in my tanks, but the Panaque being slower growing, I can cope with.

Hi Mats

thank you for your reply. That would be great as it would be one out of the 2 rehomed if you can take him. When could you take him?

What's your deadline? I certainly can't do it today. Maybe tomorrow, depends a bit on where in Kent you are...

Deadline i'm hoping for is by Saturday lunch time so no problem about today. I'm just outside Maidstone and about 6 miles from junction 5 of M20.

One last pic in the hope of tempting someone, taken last night:

A big thanks to Mats for collecting my Panaque last night and travelling in appalling weather conditions to collect him.
