My bosses parents moved away a few weeks ago and couldnt take their fish with them so gave them to my boss. One of the fish is a Mexican Cichlid who since being with us has eaten 4 danios, a siamese fighting fish and has been beating up all the others. After some research we have discovered that the tank hes in is far too small for him so he needs to be rehomed. Any ideas on where to ask or would anyone on here want him?

Do you know which species this is?
I could take some Mexican species but no longer have the size tank some would need. I have space in a 400 litre.

Try the Practical Fishkeeping forums. You will need to work out what species it is though, have you got a picky? I'll give it a shot if you want.

What a beauty!

Did you post on TFF? If not and if you want, I can post on there for you, but can you PM me as much info as possible eg how old you think it is, how big is it now, and whereabouts it would need to be collected from?

He is a gorgeous fish, just not a very nice one! If you could post for me then that would be great :) will PM you.

She is a nice baby/half grown girl but totally unsuited to a community tank with small fish. (Small fish = snacks)

Someone into cichlids should snatch her up or look if you have a specialist shop locally. I live near Wharf Aquatics & they often take in rehomes of this nature.
