To get to #152 turn into the complex and take the first street to the left, go past the tennis courts and take the first street to the left. I'm 3/4 of the way down the street on the left. Look for the white nissan

Is it ok to post other than meeting chat here? I want to let GHACers know something fish related...I am such a rule follower.

Sure, why not? This Houston FISH Box after all.

I have 4 plecos I need to rehome...a nice looking Brown Common (4-5"), 2 Yellow Spotted , one (4-5")and one (3-4"), and an Albino Chocolate (3-4").I'm going away to another state, and will sell my 75 and give my 29 to a fishkeeping noob family next door. I wanted to trade for some Cardinal Tetras or anything small and colorful (there's a small child in the family) but prefer to get the Plecos a home before I move. That's 2 weeks or so, but I need to sell the 75 and can't keep the plecos in the 29. Need to rehome asap, trade or not.

As the Fly said at the movie's end..."Help... me."

I raised these all from small guys...they are nice and have great fins, etc. So I would prefer someone have them in a tank. I only have a motorcycle, no car, so transporting is not a good idea, and I live far from anywhere to release them except the bayou...I prefer to hope someone will take them in.

I forgot to mention...I have a solitary Jewel Cichlid that comes with them I've had for 3 years.

Please don't release non-natives. Plecs and other species have infested some of our waterways and doing some serious damage. You may try posting in the Free Stuff section of the forum.

I guess you didn't read the post...I am in the livestock section, and I don't release fish...except into a pond, which I don't want to.

The plecos he has are common plecos

[mistahoo]

All plecos are non-native.... They are from South America. Common plecos in our waterways are a result of people releasing them.

Exactly...aside from my not releasing aquarium raised into local waterways, if there was a massive release of 4 plecos into the already inhabited by Common Plecos bayou system how bad would that be? Deed been done...I am as concerned with aquarium virus' and bacteria/germs that could start killing non exposed fish in the waterways. I've heard about 2 and 3 foot sightings of Commons near the Med Center ...Moby Pleco. So...someone adopt my 4 plecos and Jewel Cichlid asap or ...(dum dum dum):)

[morpheus]

Philbert I will PM you. I may be able to adopt some of them, but probably do not have room for all of them. I will give you a description of the two tanks I am thinking of in my home....if you think they would be a good fit
