Flushing Threats

http://hudsonvalley.craigslist.org/for/1303227106.html

This truly, truly aggervates me. I e-mailed the person, even if I have to give the fish to my LFS, I refuse to see them be flushed.

Omg, that's sickening.
HE buys the wrong fish for the wrong size tank then uses those tactics to get rid of them.
Grrrr.....people make me so mad.

I'm hoping really hard guys. As it's 1 am here, I'm not looking for a response anytime soon. But I do have my fingers crossed.

Even if I can't get the tank soon enough, I would rather give them to my LFS, then see them flushed.

If it's full sized I'd like to see him try and flush it!

GO SAVE THE FISHIES! If the 90G doesn't turn up in time, I'd give them to the LFSsaying if you sell them, no big deal, but if you don't...can I have them back? And flutter those eyelashes!

Good luck with it

The person e-mailed me back, I think I'm going to go with Emily's idea. I just don't want them flushed.

She e-mailed me back saying that someone is coming to look at them tonight. So that's a good thing - I just want them away from her.

I'm working on getting that 90....if she e-mails me again saying that the other person didn't take the fish, I'm def. going to get them tomorrow. I have a feeling that the guy is going to take them tonight though.

Omg, Amanda. Seriously, if these were puppies or kittens the authorities would get involved.
Is there a fish rescue group in your area who could take control of the situation?
I imagine if there was, they'd already have saved those poor fish.

I'm trying to find someone to go get them. My mom doesn't care enough to go get them. I'm trying to get my b/f to go pick them up when he gets off work, but he doesn't know anything about fish.
PLUS, they'll have eto go in a 29 gal. or a rubbermaid container until I can get the 90 up & running.

The guy said he has other priorities than to bring the tank to me, so I'm trying to get him to meet me somewhere & I'll find someone with a truck to get it to my place. These Oscars need a large tank, ASAP.
