Garofoli Big Fish Posts: 337 Kudos: 143 Votes: 27 Registered: 12-Apr-2006	I have several fish in my tank I would like to give away. Look at my profile to see them, they are in the 10 gallon. I want to get convicts and start a planted tank. What ways can i get rid of them humanely? Chris

Many LFS will take fish or even give you store credit or cash for them. -------------------------------------------- The aquarist is one who must learn the ways of the biologist, the chemist, and the veterinarian.

Not all stores will take public fish, however, so don't just show up with some fish hoping to have them take them, call around first. Don't expect to get much, if anything, in return. Wholesale prices are about as good as you're gonna get. n-joy Tim
