What To Do With Unwanted Fish?

Maybe the pretty fish you bought has gone on a rampage and killed many of its tank mates. Maybe the fish has grown too large for you to house. Maybe you just don’t want it any more.

You don’t want to flush him, but what do you do?

There are a few primary options:

1. If the fish was purchased recently, check with the shop to see if you can return the fish for a refund.
2. Contact local aquarium shops to see if they will accept the fish.
3. Advertise the fish as available for free to a good home on Craigslist.
4. Post the fish as available for free to a good home on aquarium forums.

RIP TwoFishGuyz.com

I had ordered many dwarf cichlids in the past from TwoFishGuyz, an online fish store, and had a lot of luck with the fish they sold me.  I went to their site about 3 weeks ago to check if they have some of the more rare/colorful apistos, and sadly, the site just gives an error.  At the time, I thought it was probably a temporary issue, but after 3 weeks, I think it’s a safe bet that the store is gone.

Update:

Two Fish Guyz was apparently bought out by Discus Hans USA.  It appears that they won’t be offering dwarf cichlids any longer.
