Okay so looking for some advice. Someone contacted me about my tank. Says they have bred fish for years and are looking for a bigger tank for their cichlids. I asked what about the fish already in the tank.

They said and I quote:
"I’d look after them mate. I have a couple of tanks been a fish lover for years"

I am not filled with confidence by this response lol. They are not easy to talk to to ask questions either. So just wondered if it was you would you be comfortable with this type of response to your questions regarding your fishes welfare.

Short answer no, are you sure they were even speaking the same language? :dodgy2:

Go with your gut feeling for sure. Better to wait for right person to come along if you can.

There is a big difference in being a "Fish Lover" to being an "Experience Fish Keeper".
I agree, go with your gut feeling.
