Thats kind of what I was getting at

There must be something else in the tank you love more...

I was just very surprised by this.

I have seen countless fish go up for sale on these forums. I can say that never once, have I seen a person have to answer to anyone for the reasons behind the sale.

I have my reasons and anyone whom is interested in giving Griff a good home can ask me the reasons in a PM. Anyone else whom has a problem with what I have decided after all the thought and consideration I have put into this, can do it privately as well.

I feel bad enough as it is already and don't need to have rehash my reasons to everyone. I know my reasons and my husband's reasons for going ahead with doing this if the right home comes along. This was a difficult thing to decide and perhaps I should have done it the easy way and brought him back to the LFS instead of caring enough to post here.

I have never seen anyone else get this type of treatment over wanting to rehome a fish.

yes Im freaking out on you for getting rid of the fish grow up , you are killing me here, I was merely asking why you were getting rid of your puffer. Maybe the fish was getting bullied around I dont know, and since you care about the fish that is why .
THAT IS IT, WOW, pardon me for asking you a question about your so called favorite fish....

WHATEVER.

my2rotties pm me after to explain, and i wrote to her back explaining my thoughts on why people should mind there own business. but talked to her in a more nicer way i guess.

Yes I do come out very direct to people, i guess that is my flaw. but I dont liked to be challanged and i know that is not what she meant , I feel for her I know what it is like to give away or get rid of something that you love alot or like very much.

Ask DOug on here im very outspoken he shakes his head some times,
ay ways its taken care of I hope she finds him a great home, for the record I couldnt find anything about Griff I think that i know he came from a LFS right

I'm a big girl and can handle to heat... This is just a very hard choice to make, and it is due to the welfare of the other dozen fish that reside in the tank with Gryphon. Everything has always been for him, but now he is affecting the other fishes health and I have to do this. I have done my very best for Griff and wish I could set up a tank just for him alone. I just cannot afford this at this point in time.

I will try one more time for him but doubt things will change. It's not his fault he was caught at a mature age and it's not his fault he eats my clean up crew and anything beneficial to the well being of my other fish. This was brutally hard for me to even post that he is available and it did it with teary eyes. I am not a horrible person.

Wrote a long response and then felt it was not appropriate to post publicly.

Perhaps you should go back and read some of your threads/posts about this fish and then think about why people may be CURIOUS why you suddenly are giving him away. If you still have all the Pm's you sent me, read those.

No one is telling you not to give him away, I think after seeing the passion (and love) you had for this fish, people are just very curious as to why he is now going to a new home. Something obviously changed and perhaps its none of our business but many people did follow your threads about Griff and did care.

I really hope you find him a nice big home.
