Re: [GSAS-Member] Willing to rescue fish (like a pleco)

Drew meet Andrew

Club:

Andrew is looking to rehome a 13-14 inch plecostomus.

"He is healthy as far as I know, and we've had him for many years in a 100 
gallon tank without any evidence to the contrary.  He was sharing the tank with 
5 large koi, who have were donated to the Japanese Gardens in the Arboretum in 
mid-summer.  Not a great mix, I understand, but we were able to make it work.  
Anyway, I'm hoping his new home will be in a well maintained, large tank, with 
a more appropriate mix of fish."

Would the GSAS have interest in adopting him, and the right environment?

Thanks,

Andrew Taylor
