    My 29 gal just cracked, springing a leak in the bottom. I am on the 3rd floor, hence this is a huge issue. I need to get rid of the following ASAP, I will be up all night so please contact me.
    A nominal rehoming fee would be greatly appreciated as I am a broke college student....

    3 Fiji yellow belly damsels
    1 flame angel
    1 green mandarin dragonette

    PLEASE shoot me an offer if you can take any of these off my hands... Thank you so much for reading

    sorry to hear man, i'm in NY but a bit far out of reach to make it at a decent time. I'll bump the thread for you, maybe someone closer. In the mean time, just temporarily place them in a rubbermaid container or similar and empty that tank out. That will hold you over until the morning at least and then take them to the LFS for safe keeping for you.

    Put them in a bucket, take them to your LFS and either A. Sell them B. Pay them to hold them.

    +1 on the advice given above a large plastic container with a pump and a heater will make a great temporary home.

    sorry to hear of your troubles :s

    Did you figure out a solution? I live in Clifton, NJ and may be able to help if needed.

    I've got a 29 in the office that I was going to break down, but haven't had the time yet. It's got plenty of rock and great filtration including a fuge. Since I removed the fish months ago, it's full of pods.

    2 things.
    I'm broke too. My kid needs braces and I'll be trying to scrape up the $6K to pay for those, which means most likely getting a second job.
    I won't be able to come to you to pickup the fish if you want me to house them. But you can drop them to me.

    You remember me, we traded some hammer coral for a RBTA not long ago. I work near neptune. If you are interested, you can temporarily house your fish in my tank here. It's been running for 3 years. Just over the past few months I got rid of the fish.
