Someone please take my Dempsey!!!!!!

[IvannaFish]

I want this damn fish outta my tank. It is the nastiest fish I have ever met. He is mean as a snake even sometimes trying to jump out of the tank to attack me. I swear he is crazy people. I had him since he was a wee little fish from PetCo and now he thinks he just owns the entire tank. I can't even put a new rock in without him trying to attack it. I think he has Rabies! Can someone please help me!!!!! What do I do. The LFS won't take him b/c they have so many and we only have one other pet store and it is PetCo. Advice please. *SICK* *SICK*

Any local clubs around? Post an ad with them.

Otherwise...not sure. They do live up to their name.

Cattle rod his a**??

Petco MIGHT take him.... they will put him up for adoption. They do that here.

How big is this JD? You said you had him from when he was little? Is he not little enough for the lfs to take back?

Looks like it's time to euthanise him then. If you can't look after it and noone will take it you don't have many options. A big knife will be the most humane method.

Tho' technically it's not euthanasia.

If he likes to jump out of the tank,then by all means let him do it !

Go catch a good sized largemouth bass and put him in there. Could be quite a show.

But what will you do with the bass once it eats the smaller dempsey?

 

[Pure]

Thems are good eating!

 

[IvannaFish]

Oh yeah..I'll fatten him up and fry'em!!

 

[fishtrap]

I can see it on the moniker now
"Psycho Jack vs. Bucketmouth -to the death"

BTW... will the vid be of the fish eating the fish or of you eating the fish?

Come to think of it, what if the dempsy wins?
