Ending a fish tank ... ?

[Jayne2267]

Hello! I started my current 20 gallon high freshwater planted tank in january 2017 with 10 glowlight tetras. The tank has had it's ups (accidentally breeding baby glowlights!) and downs (posted in threads on here) over the last 4 years. I never bought more fish for my tank after I bought the 10 glowlights when I was 16, and as of today we're down to 3 seniors still kicking at more than 4 years old. I don't really like just keeping 3 glowlight tetras cause it's quite a small group but I'm not interested in purchasing more and continuing this tank into infinity so..... how am I supposed to end this? eventually there's just gonna be one fish left... should I try to rehome these last 3 fish for their last couple months? or....? I have done so much reading on starting fish tanks but I can't really find information on how to end one. Any advice helps.

If you have a local fish club, you can ask if anyone wants to adopt/rescue those fish from you.

Do you plan to keep the tank, but just with different fish, or do you want to shut it down?

Rehoming the fish would be the best option for them.
