Guppies and Platys anyone?

[lyquidphyre]

I know there is a special forum for "trades" and what not but I am desperate!

This is my situation (some of you already have an idea of it). I received an overstocked tank- WAY over stocked. Right now in a 40 gal tank there are prolly 100 guppies and platys- some of which are pregnant.

None of my lfs will take them off my hands and all I can do is-
1. Keep about 40 fish in the 40 gal (I know thats pushing overstocked, but i don't have much of a choice)
2. Put about 10-15 fish in my 29 gallon
3. Give about 20 fish to my friend who has a 20 gal.

If *ANYONE* wants however many free guppies or platys and are willing to pay for shipping or close enough to pick up- *OR* have an idea of how I can fix this situation- please please please contact me =o)

Thanx!

Have you got an aquarium near by? Not a fish shop but an actual aquarium that doesn't sell fish, just for display. I think they'll happily take the 20 or so fish off your hands

 

[lyquidphyre]

Hmmm. Good idea, Im not sure where the closest aquarium is other than the Dallas Aquarium. That is something I will look into *nod*

Thanx for the advice!

Common Guppies or fancy?

*bangs head on keyboard*


geocities won't let me post them on a message board. I would upload them to my photo gallery but my camera is being weird.

 

[fish_doc]

add them to your gallery here

if i lived in texas or anywhere near there i would take about 30 guppies

I've heard that oscars are good at taking care of a guppy infestation.

 

[lyquidphyre]

I don't want to kill them, because if that were the case I would have already flushed them.

Skys- If there is a way to ship them to you and you don't plan on using them as oscar food, I will give you 30 guppies =o)

Guppies

Hi. Feeding them to an Oscar is not killing them. You're just completing the natural cycle of aquatic life. Big fish eat little fish. Yum-yum-yummy! Flushing them is killing them, since no purpose is served. - Just my 2 cents! - Frank

 

[lyquidphyre]

I just feel bad, I don't want to "play god." Because I do plan on keeping as many as I can.

Besides, I don't want an Oscar =o)

 

[uniqueaquarium]

Reserve like 10 for me. I am willing to pay you for the shipping but first i have to see what i'm getting. Let me know when you are giving other things away as well. Thanks!!!.

I do understand. I wish I had an easy answer. - Frank

You n00bs! All you have to do is put a space at the end of the links to make them work

 

[lyquidphyre]

Really? I just figured geocities was turning into a yahoo nazi. Thanx for the info =o)
