New Fish Tank

catieeb06

Hi Guys,

I have 2 goldfish who currently reside in a not very big home. I need to get them a new tank but being broke I can't exactly afford much.

I've looked on Gumtree but there doesn't appear to be much on there, Ebay they're all way down south and want collection- the cost of petrol would negate everything.

I can't seem to work freecycle at all so I wouldn't know whether there are any on there.

Have you actuallu registered with your local Free*cycle group (sorry, but don't understand what you mean by "can't seem to work").

(you need a hot*mail. ya*hoo, li*ve etc email account)

You could also try posting a note in your local store/supermarket etc. Keep looking on Gumtree regularly as these are the types of things that go fairly quickly (I've just given one away via Free*cycle).

Good luck

what area are you in?

South Yorkshire. I've managed to register for one free cycle group but the larger group requires you to sign up to yahoo groups, so I have done so but it still won't let me post it.

From memory, when you 1st join your posts are often "vetted" before being shown on the site - once you've been on a while they go on instantly.

all you will need for the tank is to clean it up a bit add water fish and you will need some new filters and you good to go paid more then 500 for it not even a hr ago just dont have time for it anymore Hello. And Bye.

If you feel the fish are suffering,and they will if the tank is too small,then as a temporary measure put them in a large plastic tub,like a recycling box,with the filter still going.Plenty of water changes and they should be ok for while.

if you find one thats been running for a while and still in use the last thing you want to do is clean out the filter, it has the good bacteria in it to filter ammonia nitrite and nitrate.

Apparently Yugoslavia is an easy journey from yorkshire to collect a fish tank
