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.

Ok, so from here to Maidstone is about 1h15m. I will have to talk to my wife...

OK, thanks Mats.

Anyone able to take my Sailfin, the fish shop is beckoning

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.
