Need to Sell Discus ASAP!!!!!

[wdeleon01]

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.

you can contact me at 818-6 4 9-0 9 9 2 or wdeleon_1@yahoo.com

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...

[suzi]

I am in the valley and interested. Do you have any pictures or strain/price list?

[Madaboutdiscus]

If I lived in Cali id be at your door right now.

Holy crap! You know me. If there are any you really want to keep send me to me and I'll keep a 90 and put them in there and send them back when you're ready.

Thanks Brandon at this time I think i'm just going to sell all of them and take a breather. It was quite a site I tell you.

[LizStreithorst]

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.

[suzi]

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.

Thank you, Liz. Or is it Mama Bear?? New to posting anything on the forum, although I've looked at it for several years when I've needed information, and still trying to figure it all out.

Thanks Liz. I have gotten in contact with Suzi and hopefully she can come over and we can work something out.

Thanks Suzi for the offer. Right now i have several spongefilters plus the over head and no one is having trouble and readings are stable, its just tight in there.

I can imagine! I remember the day I had a return line break off my canister and dumped over 100g on my first floor.

Well I was in the middle of arranging furniture, baby had been playing near the tank like a minute earlier. My Six year old was playing on the laptop on the couch. Luckily no one got electrocuted which that thought came after all the picking of the water came.

[Trubble]

Oh wow, I feel your pain. Many years ago, we had a puppy that decided to teeth on the canister return line on a 125 we had. Talk about a mess. I'm glad to hear the family and fish are ok. If we were closer, we'd give them homes in a heartbeat. Best of luck with getting them situated in a new home.

Too bad Walter. Hope some good luck finds you, and quick!

Thanks Trubble I have a couple of people that say that are interested in them, hopefully most of them will have a good home sooner than later.

I know Brandon I am thankful for that. I realized afterward that there was a surge protector that i had just put ontop of air hoses cause i was moving the tanks around,that probably came very close to getting wet.

Jeff I think I had good luck with not getting electrocuted yesterday and being able to tell everyone what happened.

[suzi]

Walter, I just want to thank you again. It was a pleasure to meet you and your wife. I hope to make it to a SoCal meeting to meet the others in the area.
I could tell by the pain in your eyes that it was very difficult for you to see your fish go. They are beautiful and you have invested a lot of yourself caring for them. Please know that I will do the same and if you change your mind down the road, please call me.

[wdeleon01]

Suzi it was my pleasure to meet you and your husband. Im really glad that you found some that you liked and that they will be well taken care off, which is what counts for me.

[wdeleon01]

Forgot to mention that I have 75-100 Angels that need a new home as well.

[dkeef]
