75 Gallon Tank How to give up Red Oscar

[FuryX]

Hi everyone. Sadly I've been thinking about giving up my red Oscar as it's becoming harder and harder for me to maintain the tank. What's a good place to give him to. I don't want him to go to some random person on Craigslist and he end up in a 20 gallon tank situation or something like that.

Any good lfs. If they are good and you trust them, they'll most likely only sell it to a person with a 20g.

Oh I'm so sorry I meant to say, they won't sell it to people who want to put it in a 20g. I am so sorry.

Oh lol you had me worried there.

I second that advice. My LFS regularly takes in large fish that have outgrown someone's set up. The owner will then only home them with someone who has a big enough tank.

Is this the same fish you said had Hith? I'm not trying to be rude by any means but I think personally you should clear that up first or if not then let the person you give it to know. Also I agree with given advice, if the LFS actually care then they will give it a good home.

If you do Craigslist you can always ask for pictures of the tank intended for the fish before agreeing to meet up or something

He's healing and it's almost completely not visible anymore.
