    Default Need to Sell Discus ASAP!!!!!

    As most of you know I just had to close down my Fish room due to the landlord asking for her house back. I found an apartment on the second level that I rented and moved into last weekend and was settling into. I was trying to keep my Big Tank but, Yesterday afternoon I was filling up my big tank in the living room and when I was done filling it, I saw a little leak out from the bottom part of the tank I marked it and was pumping water out of my other tanks to use the same water from this big tank and not let it go to waste. When 3 minutes later the acrylic tank exploded sending 100 gallons of water all over my living room and kitchen area. Baby crying, 6 year old on the couch asking what happened, wife coming into the kitchen saying oh **** Dog and cat jumping to get to higher ground. Neighbor from downstairs knocking on the door saying that water is coming down on her living room.

    I have all the Discus in a 60 Gallon tank, needless to say they are over crowded right now. So I need to find a home for most of them right away.

    This is truly a visual experience I have always harbored and entertained in the back of my head as a worst nightmare! Wish I could help!

    Wow... so sorry to hear of this tragedy... I too live on the 2nd level apartment unit. This is what scares me and I made sure that my insurance cover this type of damage if this ever happens before setting up my small fish room... I hope there isn't much damage for the folks living under you...

    I hope that Suzi gets them because she's kind.. I've seen pics. I know the quality of the fish. From what I've seen you were able to choose from the top of the barrel. I bet that she'll be nice back to you when you're ready to get set up again.

    I'm sure all of us have a fear of this happening. Seeing your post has make it a little more of a reality to the point that I have called my homeowners insurance....
    I have sent an e-mail. Once you've had a chance to catch your breath I'd love to hear back. And again, I have a 55 that I will loan you, no strings attached. I would hate to see any fish lost.
