Hello all, it has been a long time since I have posted anything here at fishlore. I have been busy with upgrading and preparing myself for my new job. But now that I have my new job, it looks like I am going to be away from home 80% of the year, and I will not have anyone to look after my little buddies.

I am not looking for money, but someone who has the room and passion for these fish. I am at work right now, so I can not go into much detail, but Ill have time this afternoon to grab some pics and list all the details. I just wanted to see if there was anyone on fishlore (aka fish lovers) who had any interest. I live in London Ontario Canada and will gladly give these beautiful fish to anyone who has the room and knows how to keep them. I also have a lot of equipment/food/caves to go along with them. Full details will be listed this afternoon. Please if you live in the area and have room, I need someone who cares. I never thought I was going to have to send these guys away.

Cheers,

Dave

Mannn...I wish you were in the U.S
I am looking for JD's.

ok, here is the info, pictures to come (I have a hard time getting shots of them and not much time to try)

- Age: Brought them home in March or 09 as fry, about the size of my pinky finger nail. not sure how old they were then, but I have had them 8 months since. The larger one is about 5 inches nose to tail, and the smaller one is about 3/4 the size, both have strong colour (unless the larger one gets in a mood, then the smaller one fades for a few hours due to the stress)

- Food: Started them on Cichlid Attack small sinking pellets, now eat medium Cichlid Gold sinking pellets, and as soon as the bag is gone they are going to large size. (about a month supply left) They get a half shot glass of blood worms with some pellets once a week after a water change. They dont like krill, and I have a big frozen bag of them if you have fish they do to go home with you. Not to many blood worms left (about 3 water change snacks worth)

- Water changes preformed once a week, anywhere from 30 to 45% depending on how messy they have been with their food that week. They are comfortable with the water changes and actually stay out of the caves and watch/wait for the blood worms. They have been in the 75g the whole time. Only had one other JD in there with them, before they paired and became aggressive towards her

- They lip lock quick a bit, and swim circles around each other. The larger one can get aggressive at times, but I have not had to separate them.

ummmm, I cant really think of anything else right now. If you are interested let me know and we can set something up. I hope to find someone who likes JDs and understands their temperment.

Cheers!

I'm sorry you have to give away JD's. Sounds heartbreaking... Hope you'll be able to give them away to a caring keeper like you. Best of luck!

Too bad you have to get rid of them.

If I were closer i would give you something for them.
Good luck.
