Oh trust me, it makes me so sad too! So, so sad. Its just one of those situations where I feel like someone else can give him a better home right now. I bought him because we were looking at selling our condo and buying a house within the next year or so but I have lost a large amount of my salary in the past few months due to the US economy (I get paid in US $, by a US television network) and will not be able to set up my big tank for a while. I just feel guilty keeping him right now.

I'll take him after the quarantine. In the middle of setting up a 300 gallon tank with a 120 gallon sump for my dragon eel and lions and could use some more color. Have a 120 gallon for them right now but the new tank will be up and running in a couple weeks

Its not so much I HAVE to as much as I think its the right thing to do...

I don't think I can count on setting my big tank up for a good few years. I debated setting it up at my parents place (they don't mind and thats where its being stored) but it means a lot of work for them! They are quite young and are up to it but I don't know...doesn't seem right.

EDIT: Found a great home but he is most likely staying now. I can't part with him I don't think. If he does go though, he is spoken for.
