I live in North Carolina, I can drive to Virgina, South Carolina ...if you are near by me I can come get him and pay you $13.00 for you GSP. That is 1 dollar more than you paid for him.

I will also take the other fish, and in exchange I will bring you a Betta fish (let me know what color) that can live in that tank.

why cant you take him back yourself? Cant you drive yourself up there and return it/exchange it for something else like a betta that is better suited for such a small tank? Its your fish your plenty old enough to make your own decisions

So you tell her you don't have the mean to take proper care of him without their help.

P.S. hermionejanepotter I don't know what to say every suggestion or idea we come up with to save your little guy is shot down. Bottom line he needs a bigger tank now, you have to come up with something, as another member pointed out your old enough to think for yourself, we can only help you so much you have to take the action.

You can ship (mail) all the fish to me and I will reimburse you for shipping costs once they arrive, and I will still give you 13.00 so you can buy a betta

Here is what you do. If your parents have a nice big container, that they like and havnt stored anything toxic in, take everything out of the 5gl and transfer it over to that container. If they ask you why, then tell them that they said he is your responsibility and your trying to let him live a long healthy life. :lol:

J/K. You can however if you have a big rubbermaid container or plastic storage container use that as long as its not been contaminated with anything that would be toxic to the fish. Transfer everything over to it and when he outgrows it as for another tank. :)
