Shutting down the loach tank
Posted: Tue Oct 19, 2010 10:13 am
Today is a sad day 
I have made the painful and upsetting decision to shut down my loach tank and find new homes for my fishes.
I recently went away on vacation only to return to find that the heater in my tank went on the fritz and 3 of my four Kubotai were dead. The heater some how broke and over heated the tank. It felt like bath water it was that hot. 1 Kub survived as well as my bushy nosed Plec, my 1 Striata, and my 4 Yoyos. This tragedy has made me realize that I no longer have the time and energy to properly care for these guys.
I have found a home for my Kub, Striata and bushy nose pleco but I don't have one for my 4 yoyos.
Is there anyone close enough to Gaithersburg, MD area to take them? I would be willing to drive about an hour or a little more to bring them to you if neccessary. If I don't find a home for them I will need to see if my LFS will be willing to take them.
