Goldfish

Danger Phoenix · 6 May 2013 at 22:45

We recently bought a new house and are having it done up, but there is a pond in the back garden with quite a lot of goldfish in.

I want to put them up for sale online somewhere, but have no idea what to price them at.

If anyone on here wants some, you are welcome to them at no cost. The place is in Uxbridge

What have you got against the fish? That's a mighty big chip on your shoulder.

We are extending the house and the pond is where the rear extension is going to be. We rather find them a suitable home if possible

Could ask your LFS.

Just buy a cat.

You will save money in cat food and the fish will go by themselves.

We used to have goldfish in our pond, if the cat didn't eat them then the winter would soon kill them off.

Gumtree. They will be taken away and eaten by immigrants though /dailymail

Haha! We don't want any pets, so they need to go. If I don't rehouse them then the builders will dispose of them

On a serious note gumtree.com/pets-for-sale/ Stick them up for free to collect or a token amount (not sure if you can price things at £0), they will be gone in no time

You should dolphinitely think about how the fish will feel moving into a new plaice. The scale of the move is huge and it's a roeful idea in my opinion.

There's something fishy about this post. I think it's cod concern and you actually give a carp

Wack them in a large glass bowl and keep them indoors

Can't wait to read your book detailing how to look after aquatic lifeforms.

On the day you move in, set up a Coconut Shy on your front lawn and invite all your new neighbours round and let them win Goldfish! It'll be the talk of the neighbourhood for weeks and will make you a very popular member of your new community.

put them in a barrel, shoot them?

Erm, did you even read my post? The pond is going this week as the builders are digging the foundations there.

Yeah, I think there are ~40 fish in there.

Get the Local Fish Shop to come take them off your hand.

This is what we had to do with our terrapins in the end. We bought them from the place we gave them back too!
