[AquaticLife] Thinking real hard about rehoming…
Yeah.. they get much too large (10″++) and are fast swimmers so they need a BIG tank, especially if you have a school of them. I’d say at least a 6′ long, probably 8′ long tank would be best.
Speaking of “A LOT of work”, having the proper sized tank from the start makes things so much easier in fish keeping since the tank is going to be more stabile so your not having to constantly be testing the water, doing PWC’s, having health problems, etc.
You could post on your local Craigslist.org in the “Free” For Sale section or try selling them first on CL. There’s also AquaBid.com and of course, listing them in this group.
Or you could do like I was going to do before Katrina changed my plans… and make one wall in your living room with some built in cabinets on the bottom (storage and hides all the filters and equipment), then two 150G tanks on top (one for tropicals, one for my fancy goldfish), and then book shelves on top of that. To me, this would take only 2′ of space out of the room but provide tons of storage and shelf space at the same time as providing a central display for your fish tanks.
