Now that I got your attention . . . .
I am desparately trying to find a good home for one of my oscars. I got 2 oscars when they where 2" and they got along famously for 1 1/2 years (thought they where going to be a breeding pair). But they've suddenly decided they hate eachother (crazy fish ) so I'm forced to find a new home for one of them because I can't get any aquariums (Dad said "no more tanks", 2 tanks and a pond ago).
Like I said, he is 1 1/2 years old and 10" standard length (12" including his tail). He still isn't fully grown and I have no doubt that he has the potential to be a 14" - 16" fish so he would need at least a 75 gallon tank (a 55 might work, but it's only 12" wide which would be cramped).
I'm more concerned with finding a good home than getting any money. So if anyone here is willing to come to Knob Noster, Mo (50 miles east of KC on hwy 50) and has a large tank that needs an occupant, please PM me.
And yes, I have been advertising him locally, but have only had 2 calls and both wanted him for 20 gallon tanks I've also asked all the local (and not so local) zoos & aquariums and all they have are native Missouri fish so they won't take him. I would just drop him off at the pet shop, but I don't trust them not to sell him to someone who a) doesn't know how to properly care for him b) doesn't have a large enough tank. I've also advertised him on all the fish forums I visit but no luck so far.
Since he's free and not car or car part, I hope this isn't agains the TOS.
