Where to re home my fish...

[Andilyn]

I currently have 1 blind koi betta, three neon tetras, 2 Siamese algae eaters, and 2 albino aeneus Cory Catfish, and unfortuntly I can't afford to get a big enough tank for them currently because at the time of buying them I didn't know as much as I know now about the proper fish to tank ratio so their currently all in a 20 gal long fishtank and it has been hard to keep the ammonia levels down due to the amount of fish.
It has been a hard, to keep the fish and watch as they suffer in a tank that isn't cutting it. It makes it worse because I had already poured my heart and soul into trying to keep these fish but unfortunately, I'm just extremely unqualified to give the life these fish deserve.
So please help me find the right home for these fish.
The betta's name is Kory she is a female who is blind, she has been struggling to eat lately because she struggles to find the food and the other fish steal it. She'd need to be on her on her own or with tame fish. She isn't aggressive she just struggles. One of the algae eaters have no eyes but is still very active. The corys are both ver energetic pair they'd need to be together 24/7 you can't have one without the other.
The tetras have gone through a lot, they aren't in the best shape because the corys are aggressive towards them. So their tails are unfortunately ripped. I love all these fish very much, so it would mean the world if I could find the perfect home for each of them.

Hi Andilyn,

Welcome to Fishlore!

Sorry that you are having to rehome your fish.

That looks like a nice, long tank. Have you thought about maybe adding some more plants to help with the parameters?

It may help if you let us know where you are located.

Welcome to Fishlore!

Is there any way to rehome the SAE? I think you would be more than ok otherwise.

How long has your tank been running and how much water do you change? Maybe we can help with the ammonia so you can keep your fish.

Hi welcome to FishLore!
Have you tried faceook groups? craig's list? Your local fish store?
In my area the local radio station has airs a classified hour where people can sell, give things away.

Good luck.

If possible, maybe you can keep some of them. Like the betta and the tetras? You could make the tetra school a little bigger. Also, are you sure your cycled? I don't even see your SAEs, they can't be big yet. I can't imagine the ammonia is that bad yet if its cycled.....

That's great to hear. You must be relieved.

I had a blind female betta as well! They're my favorites

Cories like groups of 5+. Aeneus only get 2.5". A 20 Long is suitable. If you get 3 more cories and neons, keep Kory and rehome the SAE's, it could be a great tank!

I understand the pain and difficulty of rehoming. I've rescued/fostered fish for 10 years. I rehome all of them, except for a select few. Sometimes I have to find homes for some I really like as I'm a foster and can't keep everyone. It's the way it is.

If you decide you want to rehome everyone, post them on a local trading website. I've always used Craigslist
