Free fish to good home, NE Indiana.

[polish]

Hello all, I've got a couple Damsels I'd like to give away to a good larger home. I purchased them from a LFS after I was told they'd be fine in my 20g, wrong. They are not the species I was told and these get to about 4-6" which is far to big for my 20g. They are Sergeant Major Damsels and one grew much faster than the other and was constantly chasing so I had to separate them. One is in my 20g the other in a temp 10g. They are both still pretty small but are growing fast. They are being fed 2 different types of marine flakes right now and are about 1-2" or so.

If you have a larger tank and would like them they are free.


Here are some photos.

They have grown some since the photos.

Both are healthy.

^ Clearer image of what they look like I found on Google.

PM or post here if interested. Thanks

hmmmm not sure but these may be difficult to unload.... even for free....

good luck, hopefully someone has a very large tank that these can go into.....

What store told you they'd be fine?

Lorna, that is what I'm afraid of but I figured it was worth a shot.

Freed, The Pet Store on Stellhorn. I think maybe the kid/guy that bagged them was confused. It was right when I got into SW and didn't know any better but he was calling them 3 Stripe Damsels, I just saw some stripes but I didn't count them so I just assumed that is what they were and they were one of the ones I wanted because they stayed small. I can only assume he thought the same and didn't know they were something else. However the next time I was in there the tank was properly labeled. They are still pretty small so it's not a huge rush but last week I saw one in the SW pond they had that was huge and no way something that big will be happy in a 20g.
