due to lack of space and time im losing my big coldwater tank. now ive lost/got rid of all the fish, but no1 wants me plec

its currently in coldwater and well established, about 4" long.

suppose it could be brought up to tropical temps if you had the facilities to,

does anyone want it otherwise i dunno what im gonna do with it

obviously gotta be local

can get pics if you want em, but the sod always hides!

 

if u cant get rid of it mate, take it to a pet shop

 

yeah i will do, not gonna kill it or owt,

jus rather some1 who has a genuine interest get it than it sit in a shop

 

Or flush it

Only joking, Any fish shop will take it

 

yeah thats the last option,

jus want a nice plaice for it to go

 

BOOM BOOM TSSSSSSSSH.....lol

wish i had the space for it matie i have one already not to many people like them but i think there ace!!!! mine just sort of Blings it in the tank with all the tropicle fish... hope you find a decent home ( tank ) for it

any pics of it, cant think what one was like. i used to have a pond in the garden but damn fox's ate all my fish bar a small gold fish (well it was silver?) even a fooking snake thing that never comes to the top? (no idea what kind it were) used to have some large belters of fish, had spent a fortune on them

 

 

aah, pretty cool

 

he looks awesome when he comes out and stretches his dorsal and tail fin out

double hard bastard

 

lmao, what about RSPCA?

 

nah pet shop will do,

got a mate round the corner where i get allme other stuff from who will take it, jus prefer it go to some1 who i know wud look after it, rather than some spotty ik lol

or stay in the shop for eons cos they r pretty specialist

 

ahwell, looks like pluke jaws will need to take it

 

Fish and Chips store?

Got an empty tank here and I miss using it, cant at the moment due to my back problems.

 

Any idea how you'd do that Chris ?
We've got a Plec at the min but its tropical.



Any idea if two Plec's in one tank would be Ok ?

 

2 plecs should be fine in one tank!

Them Zebra plecs are cool!

 

2 would be just fine Doug.. i have 4

Where ya been sexy? PM me all the gossip

 

Lmao Tsk Stu Tis Me Jo

 

Some things never change eh hun?

 

They certainly don't
Hope ur Ok ?


Anyways back to the question I asked Any idea how you'd climatize a coldwater plec to live in Tropical temperatures ?

<<<<< Doug when he read Climatize !!!

 

I aint an expert but id imagine a slow temp increase maybe 1-2 degrees a week to bring it up to around the 28-30 mark in a seperate tank

like i say im no expert

 

Thanks Chris I'll see if I can find out and get back to you. Wouldn't want to take it off you, & then for it to come to any harm

 

a quick blast in the microwave will bring it up to temp in about 5 seconds

 

If I was closer I'd take it, just about to start stocking my tank up.....

 

It's a Gibbysept (?) sailfin plec, their pretty common, take it to a fish shop someone will buy it. They are only hard to sell when they are much bigger.

 

we had 1 of them!

didnt know what it was called! I just called it a "sucker fish" as it suckeed everythin!

 

i would have had it but sold me tank bout a week ago and dont think it will like the pond with me jap koi

 

cheers fella!

now i know what it is

n dan.... you coont!

 

thats what this one has been till now

 

Mines just died a few weeks back pity you dont live near me I have a huge tank that would suit it....
