How do I go about rehoming my two goldfish? I dont think there is anyone on this site who is near me. They are still being treated for fin rot rot now and only 2 in long. But do you know where I could find them a new home? I have pictures up. I do not want to give them up but I have to do what is best for them. They will come with food but thats all I can give up.

I am waiting until they are healed and I do not trust craigslist especially with how little my guys are. And i wont ship them. Plus I DO NOT want to give them away free on craigslist. Thats certain death.

Is there any other way?

well I cant do that. The tank is too small which is why I am rehoming them. Otherwise I would keep them I have no idea what to do with them. I want them safe and happy. But I also want to get tropical fish even if I have to save up money for test kits and heaters and so on.

I do have a friend who knows someone who breeds Koi maybe that would work

they are feeders If I return them they will get eaten

Well, you pretty much got all the options there are.
1. make an ad on craigslist
2. give them to friends/family
3. keep them yourself and care for them the best you can
4. give them back to the pet shop

But you don't seem to like either of these options, so I say... sit there with them and keep them until some wonderful fish-keeping angel will come by and take them as their own. Relax a bit about it, alright? It's not the end of the world, and if you'd only try, you could take good care of them.

If you didn't know that, I kept my three fantails in an 8 gallon thingie for almost six months. But now I managed to save up for the 83 gallon I have standing on the top floor and I'm the happiest ever. Lol. I just need an apartment so I can set it up now. I just need an apartment so I can set it up now. They're living in a small tank I borrowed from a friend for now, mind you. But my fish, ARE HAPPY , they are incredibly snuggly and adorable and they get so happy whenever they see me, and they eat like there's no tomorrow. And I keep them this way by doing regular water changes and feeding them a varied and good diet. None of them have been sick so far. But I did buy two constipated orandas, where one of them had injured fins and both of them are perky little maniacs today. It's easier than it seems, so just try and stay calm, and you'll be able to care for them as well as anyone until you'll find a bigger tank, or another home for them.

Cloudy water is usually an indication of all the good bacteria trying to find a home during the cycling process.
It will clear up after your tank has finished cycling. Which means you could see cloudy water for another month or so.

ok but I read that cycling with fish is VERY bad for them ... if i do water changes every other day will it be ok? I have to do it anyway but still I want to know if i need any special steps.

and until I can get the water test kit would this help? (Link is not visible to guests. Please register to view.)

Also I posted in tank and equipment " whats wrong with my water" I put up pictures cuz my fish are getting black spots

and now they even eat in front of me and bubbles will swim up to the front and greet me but whenever i go near the tank they start looking for food lol.

could you look at my post in  the illness forum and see if the discoloration is anything i should worry about? And frequent as in every other day right?

And I know I'm cycling it with fish but I'm worried it will hurt my fish

lol thanks i have one in equipment about the water that i know need to delete ... but the illness one has good pictures. And I did a water change today the water got cloudy after I started the melafix treatment. and the spots showed up today

The tetra test kit doesn't have a nitrate test, which is very important for determining how often you should change the aquarium water once the tank is done cycling. You should always try to maintain nitrate level below 40 ppm.

Get the api master test kit instead, since both are about the same price.  Make sure the kit has the tests for pH, ammonia, nitrite , and nitrate. Those are the most important water parameters to check for.

I just ordered this kit. (Link is not visible to guests. Please register to view.)

If you read the reviews it also has a nitrate test

Great! It's about time But this is going to make things a whole lot easier for you! From now on you'll be able to spot most problems by yourself. You should always test the water if something strange is visible on your fish, or if they start acting differently, it's usually a water quality problem those times And if they'll actually be sick, it's much better for the fish if the water parameters are as close to flawless as possible

That's just your own worries making you feel like that! As long as these fish are eating nicely, getting healthier, and being active, you don't have to worry about them being miserable

There are other forums where you could post about these fish! Maybe you'll get someone who's interested there?

I found someone local who is willing to take them I am requesting pictures of his pond first though just to make sure wish me luck
