Writing this post is really bumming me out and making me sad because I really do love my fish, however I really am struggling trying to take care of him. Thus, I just wanted to put it out there that I have a 2 year old Jack Dempsey named Augustus who comes with a beautiful 60 gallon tank, filter, decorations etc... He is very large, healthy and quite pretty with the colorful blue in his skin. He was left behind by my ex (complete sociopath) who did it deliberately because he knew I am very sensitive towards animals and the extra work, stress, expense of taking care of this fish on top of everything else I am currently struggling with would too much and it would be upsetting for me to give away any kind of pet. I am always very paranoid that somebody is going to be careless or harm them. I don't want him fed to another fish.
Anyway, I just broke my arm in an accident so have been up all night trying to clean his tank properly because not easy to do in a cast, I am by myself, barely making the bills, got three cats, no car to get to the pet store - sounds like a bad country and western song I know. To make a long story short - I live in South Orange County, California - and if anybody in that area is interested in him and who loves fish. knows about Dempseys - please message me. He does need to be by himself in that tank because he does not get along with other fish at all. I am not asking any money for him or his tank and accessories - just a good home.
