newbie needs help!

Hello fellow water baby enthusiasts, I'm in a bit of a pickle here, a few years back I bought 3 Irradescent shark babies and as anyone buying fish should know (yea right) they grew up ! And grew up they did! They went from 2 inch little babies to 13-18 inch big guys.I am at a loss no idea what to do , feel so bad for these guys all three are in a 75 gallon tank and I can't find anyone who will take them. If anyone has an idea please feel free to let me know. I've been trying to find a home for them for over a year. Thanks a lot.Pam

 

Hello and Welcome Pam

Can not help you with your healthy fish but just wanted to say Hi

 

Have you tried your local fish store or craigslist? Welcome aboard.

 

^ 1+ I would definitely try your LFS or craigslist. I loved those fish, mine stayed small when I had it. I think he was blind as well, he would run into the glass and knock himself out for a good 2 minutes then get right back up. lived for 4 years. good luck trying to find them a home

Yea I tried my LFS actually its where I bought them and they said" what are we gonna do with them?" Thanks a lot right? Well needless to say I do not buy fish from them any more! I am so desperate I even e mailed the Aquarium of Niagara Falls! Thanks for the warm welcome. I tried the Monster fish forums and they wouldn't even let me post. So I thank you very much. Love to look at the fish tank gallery.

 

If I was a lfs owner I would have said the same thing. You can always buy a bigger fish tank.

Hello and welcome to 3reef...... large fish are hard to find a home for sometimes.

 

thanks

Thanks to everyone who was so kind in their replys. A bigger. Fish tank isn't an option we have no room for a couch now but thanks for the suggestion, I'm happy to say our local hospital has a 200 gallon tank and we are donating them to the hospital.thanks again Pam

 

Welcome to 3reef, congrats on finding a taker and growing such large healthy fish in a small tank.
