My Sailfin Plec has outgrown my tank. He is about 10 inches long and is way too big now.
Where can I get shut of him, don't really fancy eating it.



I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

Don't harm it in anyway. Would your local pet shop not have it off you?

I'm not going to harm him. He's a beauty. He's only 4 but in a bigger tank will grow another few inches till he matures. I was a noob when I first got him and the guy in the fish shop didn't explain to me that he would out-grow my tank.

Got two, they are great but sometimes i think they've died, they just hide motionless behind the filter, then are full of life an hour later
