Would anyone be interested in rehoming some fish?

[Tad]

Ah--tough decision for me-- my 55 gallon aquarium is falling apart-- so my decision is either to buy a larger system or to rehome my fish. I love my fish--but I do want what is best for them and I need to de-stress my life.
So--if anyone can promise my fish a good home--and would come get them (all) from my home in mid-Michigan-- they can be yours.
5 clown loaches-- about 4-5 inches
1 yo-yo loach (same size)
1 Sinibotia robusta
3 flying foxes (4-5 inches)

Thanks for looking

I would love to, but im a bit far away in Iowa. i will be starting up a 220 gallon tank in ~10 days

I sure there is someone closer to you who will love to pick up the guys.

good luck mate,

Okay--next question-- if I keep these fish and do get the tank that I have a deposit on-- what kind of substrate should I get-- and how much for a tank that is 36"x36" -- I like the looks of sand-- and idea of that-- but my LFS manager says that sand will clog everything. I still would rather try sand-- color??? I saw black tahitian moon sand-- any thoughts on that?

What kind of filter?
Anything but under-gravel and you should be fine, just set the intakes a couple of inches above the bottom.
And use sand that sinks. These guys tend to recommend the (cheap) sand you get for swimming pool-filters.

The tank is going to have a sump--and then some sort of internal filter--not sure which one yet-- any recommendations?

I'm in Indy, very interested in your clowns. I just got a 300gal about a month ago. They would greatly appreciate the company of my other 12 clowns. Is there any way we could meet halfway?

[Tad]

Thanks Pilze-- I am still deciding what to do--but good news for me is that my friends are moving out of state and may give me their 90 gallon tank. I'll keep you posted. Thanks again.

Pool filter sand is a good choice. It has a graded grain size and is inert.

I just live across the border in sault ste marie ontario

pm me
they would be going to tanks that have 50% wc weekly and are over filtered
