    Oh no, please don't euthanise them! If all else fails I'm sure that a LFS will take them in.

    @Teal They are your fish and it's your decision what you do with them. Why are you trying to make it other people's problem? It sounds like you are trying to guilt others into taking on your responsibility.

    Why don't you try this idea first?

    If there was some way of getting them to JHB, I would have grabbed 'em. I have enough space for them. Shucks!! Try advertising on other classfieds as fee to good home - I am sure someone will take them.

    I am not selling these fish! They are fish in my dads tank that he has totally neglected. I am trying to give them away so I dont have to do the responsible thing and euthenize them and not release them into the wild where they will wreak havoc with the ecosystem. People who do this are the reason why we can no longer import so many of the cool fish out there. Doug was not interested in the fish but the aquarium I was stopping.
