What To Do With Unwanted Fish?

By admin ( December 28, 2009 at 9:40 pm) · Filed under Beginner, 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.
