Hi everyone,

I signed up because this seems like a really great community of people and I'm in need of some help.

I have a tank of really great, beautiful fish--7 swordtails, 3 gold barbs, 3tiger barbs, and 3 serpae tetras, but I'm moving and I can NOT take them with me. I've had the swordtails from birth; all the fish are very healthy, though the barbs and tetras are older.

They are free to anyone who wants them; I will even cover shipping. (If you live in St. Louis, MO, you can pick them up from me.)

Thanks so much.

Welcome to Fish Lore qq. Best of luck with your move and hope you can get your tank started back up soon. I'm sure you'll get some responses soon.

MASI (Missouri Aquarium Society) is having a fish auction Sunday in Affton.
If you went to it or contacted them, maybe someone in the club could help you rehome your fish.
Go to their website for directions:

Just take your fish to the auction. I'm sure someone there will take them off your hands and give them a nice home. If you can't find anyone to take them I'm sure I can find someone who will want them locally...I'm also from St. Louis.

Are you going to the auction tomorrow, MPrudent? Are you, qqkozii?
I'll be there. Hope to see you all, too.

Hi everyone,

Thank you all for your help. I gave my fish to the auction chairman today, who was very kind. I was extremely heartbroken, but I know it was the right thing to do and I trust completely that they will find loving homes.

Unfortunately, I can't go to the auction tomorrow. I am actually defending my dissertation on Monday, so I will be preparing for that, and I don't have a car with which to get there.

Once again, thanks so much <3

I hope all goes well! I'm sure they will find good homes

Who knows! Maybe you'll find some posts about your fish sometime soon!
