I have a fish that is too big for the tank, who do I give it to?

It is a Iredensent Shark, and it is getting too big for the tank, I want to find it a better home, but where? Maby I could sell it? It is about 4-5 years old, and about 1' long.
Answers:
Offer it to pet stores with large display tanks, your local zoo, http://aquabid.com/ , or try posting it on some fish forums.
A
uh get a bigger tank and keep it..
You can always sell it to the store where you bought it from, sometimes they buy back animals.
why dont you take a shot and sell it on ebay
get it a new tank..or a lot of pet stores will bye them off of you! It will go to a good home I'm sure.

unless you have friends who have fishtanks too, and would be able to take it in..that is if it would be compatable with their fish!
y dont u put where u live and post an add asking who would want Ur fish


p.s y cant u get a bigger tank
call ur local pet shop and see if u can put an ad in there fish dept. i doubt seriously if they'll take it but u can certainly ask and u could put an add in the paper good luck u can buy a bigger tank too and keep him
Go to your local Petco and see if they wiil take it. Set up an ad in your local paper or community bullitain board.

You could also consider getting him a bigger tank, or even installing a back-yard pond for him.

Good Luck!
I put mine in a local stream.
ask friends and if they dont want it donate it to something
You give it a bigger fish tank or back to where u got it from.
Just like plants - the bigger the pot the bigger the plant. Obviously Mr. Shark needs more room to grow, I would get a bigger tank. You would miss him is you sold him.
Our local pet store will buy back or trade in fish that get too big for our tank. Ebay is a great option, too. Good luck!
take it to your local chinese take away im sure they'll find a use for it if you get my drift.
First off, do NOT put it in local waters. That's how ecosystems get screwed over and there likely is laws (even if dusty) against that in your area.
You may be able to do a trade off at a local pet shop or just get store credit. However, don't expect to get much. Or you could give it to a friend or place an ad in the local newspaper.
call your local animal rescue league. and tell them your situation. and im sure they will be more than happy to help you. most of them have an open door policy. dont give the fish to just anybody coz if the fish continuos to grow and they let it out into the environment it could damage the local eco system. or you cal contact your local aquarium too and see if they can help you. gudlak!
Your local petshop should normally take it.not sure if they will be willing to pay.
Also try advertising on http://www.kijiji.com/
You should try looking on www.aquabid.com for a bigger tank or a different style might be all you need. If that doesn't work out than you can sell it on there but you have to be careful shipping live fish. They must be shipped overnight next morning delivery in a bag of water like you get it in the store packed safely in a box for shipping plainly labeled with "Live Animal Handle With Care". They also sell oxygen tablets that you can put in the water in the bag so he doesnt run out of air. You can buy them at most pet stores if you look for them.
Try ebay, someone near your house might buy it and pick it up. Or take it to the pet shop.
Try calling around local fish stores, especially in/near bigger cities. Stay away from the chains, they won't buy fish. Find a good mom and pop place, they should give you store credit too. Or, try running an ad in your local paper. I'd stay away from ebay, unless you know how to properly ship a live fish. Try calling around local schools/colleges/zoos/aquarium. Or, what you could do, depending on your yard etc. dig a pond for it.
ask your local pet shops, they always know someone with the really large tanks
