    Lol, lucky you can do that easily. I know my local one will give you only 20-25% of the current value of the fish regardless of when you take it back.

    lol you're getting rid of one and I ended up picking up another. I saw a lone young female in a tank and I picked her up and added her to my tank with my other GBR, kind of in hopes that when she gets older her and my original male will pair up. As of right now they either completely ignore each other or the male will chase her away from his side of the tank. I know it's a long shot with them pairing up, but I figure it's worth a try.

    Dawn I think it'd be best to do her away anyways regardless of the payment you get :eek: The fish is just commiting suicide as it seams :eek:

    It's like picking on the strongest and biggest person you see while shopping for candy!

    Oh I'm not disagreeing with downloading the problem by all means. I was just saying that the lfs in my area gives ya next to nothing sadly...your usually better off with craiglist (in my area that is).

    Yes Dawn you are correct.... Even though I AM broke, sometimes it is not about the money though! It IS about the health and happiness of the pets! And my LFS will give me NOTHING for doing it... BUT the GBR was $8 and the Angel was like $9..... not a big loss when I have lost $60 Discus before.... And as far as Craigslist goes... I have to wait then... This needs to be done ASAP!

    In this case I do have a fish that will most likely die.... and for the Angelfish, she wont pair with a male and is FAR to antisocial to do anything with as far as adding more Angels to..... Also anyone knows.... 1 Angelfish with NOTHING else in the tank (the Discus is back in the 125 with the rest) it kind of makes matters worse.

    Either way, I need to get my tanks into a pattern again with the Angel Breeders back at it better than ever....

    I wasn't suggesting it was about the money, i knew you were in a jam on this one. From experience with my area craiglist I knew many times if you advertised fish people would come and get them the same day they were posted. ((I 've used it before to list "problem" specimens and more times than not I ended up giving them away to some parent who had a tank for their kids)).

    Hey, I am more than happy to have them gone... The GBR was irritating the Discus and I REALLY did not like that.... Then there is the case she would die messing with them...

    Also I have my Grow Out Tank back!!! :cool:

    Later on I have other ideas... but with all these fry they will need a home in a month or so... So for the time being it will be a grow out tank again for the Angel Fry..... I wish it would work for the Discus :)

    Maybe in a few months I will go back to the plan for the Altum tank.... Dont have the money now after the Discus purchase though :confused:

    Sounds like a good plan!
    Yea, those discus are heck of a expensive (reason why I never attempted them as of yet-that and hearing everyone say how delicate "sensitive" of a fish they are).

    Thats what the crickets were for... not the fish...

    I am considering the Cardinal Tetras again with an exchange.... maybe credit to a new filter (Rena XP4)

    Im still debating that... I have a few months
