I have an awful lot of plecos and while I am enjoying their antics they are gaining in numbers!!! I need to start thinking about finding new homes for them (I'm separating male/female) how/where can anyone suggest. Very happy to give away. TIA

Greetings :] & welcome to AF-UK

Most local aquatics will take them in exchange for a credit note.

Failing that, we do have a livestock for sale section here ...For Sale - Livestock or use the Swap shop

Welcome to the forum!

I have a single male BN plec and paid £10 for him 1 year ago at my local Maidenhead Aquatics, so they're not cheap.

You can post them on the forum for sale/to give away.

Or maybe you could do a deal with a local fish shop?

Edit: @Martinspuddle already suggested this!

Haha as others have said, local shops might give you store credit or just take them off your hands, advertise them here if you want but follow the classified rules 😊
