If anyone would be interested I have been inspired to start a South American cichlid rescue.
I would mostly need donations that include but are not limited to:
A 1,200 gallon acrylic aquarium custom built to fit my living room along with filters, heaters, and eventually fish.
I would also convert part of my basement into a large indoor pond to rescue an arapaima or two. I could rescue a lot of fish in a setup like this man from the UK has.

Da, if your plight is sincere I apologize for the tone of these comments in general. I'm sure you understand, as an experienced good Samaritan, that it can take time to help people understand your plight. If, while this may be rare on the internet, this is yet another "send me free stuff" ruse, I would encourage everyone to send me free stuff instead. I have been a member longer and have an established record keeping fish. I have had aquariums since before I could drive. . .in that case, actually send me cars.
