Hi all
First, a note to the mods - this isn't a classifieds or for sale thread. I understand that my post count is not high enough to post in the classifieds section, but this thread isn't an attempt to work around that. I just need some help.
Alright, onto the issue. At the moment I have 4 different species of moray, all of a (relatively) small size. They are all wild caught, from the general Durban.Umdolti/Ballito area.
The problem is that I'm getting shipped off to university next year, and the parents aren't willing to take care of them, partially out of fear of being bitten and partially out of fear that they'll accidentally kill them, because they're inexperienced in fishkeeping.
The thing is, I have no idea what to do with them. I have put them up on other forums' classifieds sections for free, and I've had no takers yet. Putting them back in the ocean isn't an option, due to several issues that arise from putting captive fish back in the wild. Somebody suggested that I offer them to uShaka Marine World, but I doubt they'd take fish from a private aquarium, plus they'd have nowhere to put them.
I'm clueless and really wouldn't mind some help round about now. What can I do with them? They're really great fish and it's kinda sad that they'll be homeless soon...
Thanks in advance
