Who can babysit Sylvester, my Port Hoplo Catfish?

[candyandcody]

Hi all fish lovers,

I have a beautiful Port Hoplo Catfish - however, he is too big for the tank that I currently have. My fiancè's mom bought Sylvester as a present for my fiancè's birthday but unfortunately did not realise that the tank we currently have is too small for this awesome cat.

I am hoping to find a fellow fish lover in the Auckland, or if possible, North Shore region who can babysit him for a couple of months. We have just purhcased a 270L tank which will easily be able to accomodate our catfish, however, we are just in the process of selling our house and don't want to set up this new tank until we are in our new place, as it is obviously a massive tank and will be a massive job to move once set up.

If you want to know anymore about our Catfish - they are non-aggressive, easy going hardy guys who just do their own thing and are minimal care!

Please get in touch with me via this forum, email - [email protected], or phone - 021 0240 5052 if you are interested in helping us out!

Cheers,

Melissa

I have a large tank filled with: bichirs, couple of cidhlids, jardini - can chuck him in if you like, kept them before. Depends how big tho, 8cm+ he will be fine.

Thank you so much for that! I think Sylvester will be fine in your tank for a while.

Could you please either email me [email protected], or personal message me your phone number so I can get in touch with you and organise a drop off for this weekend if at all possible.
