Ok guys. This was posted on another forum and in an attempt to really make this happen, I'm carrying the message to you guys, hoping that one of you can help or know of someone who can help.

Hello, my name is Toby Beck and I am a vet student at OSU with a huge interest in fish pathology and treatment. I am trying to find a suitable home for a 2.5' Pseudodoras niger. It's 180 gal tank has become quite restricting and it needs much larger quarters. It is in great health and quite beautiful as jumbo catfish go. I have been unsuccessful at finding a public aquarium that will take him in and do not have the means or space to build an indoor pond to house him. I was hoping that perhaps one of your members might have suitable facilities and desire to take over his care or have contacts at a public aquarium. I would ,of course, deliver him to a suitable home at no expense. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Tobias

Anyone? Can't say I didn't try:)
 
I understand:)

I looked up some pictures and they're actually really cool looking!! Like a really huge mutant cory!

This is a great pic!

cool -he really does look like a huge cory- from the side I think they look like huge raphaels- I must have a larger tank one of these days.
 
I'm not sure where he lives offhand....if it was close, I was hoping he might stumble across the thread:)
 
I appreciate the thought, but I really don't have the room. I stopped putting any fish in the pond about a year back. There's a limit. I am soon bumping up against it.

Leopardess...feel free to post it over on my site as well. There are a few big fish lovers over there.
 
Oh, well. Worth a shot. Way cool looking fish, though. If I had a pond I'd be making a trip with a 100 gallon rubbermaid, a small generator, and a filter.
 
Is there a large public aquarium near you? We have donated a few fish to one about 150 miles away. Sometimes they will come out and get the fish. I would make a few phone calls if it looks like this might be up your alley. At 2.5 feet your looking at needing about 400+ gallons of water if it doesn’t grow any more?
