Two Ponds to re-home following passing of family member ** Free to good home**

[-+pete+-]

HI I need some advice and help, my mum passed away recently and has two mature ponds in the garden, both have about 20 ish fish in them that are ranging in sizes. They are all gold fish I understand not Koi but I am assuming that, Mum's is in Bristol and I'm not even sure how to ensure anyone that is willing to take them has the right set up to look after them or how to ensure they are transported correctly? We don't have any scope in the family or friends to home them unfortunately but we are very keen to make sure they are looked after.
Any advice on how to ensure they are transported correctly, anywhere I could contact to help re-home or where to post and what details people would need?
I've attached a couple of very basic photos.
Thanks

Pete

If you have a Craigslist then you could offer them there. If not you could find a place that sells koi and offer them to them.

ads in garden centers and pet stores may help

Welcome I am sorry to hear about your mom.

Try pet stores, garden center, look on line for fish rescue society.

Rehoming Fish: What To Do With Unwanted Goldfish

What do you do with a goldfish that you can't or don't want to keep anymore? You know you want to do the right thing, but what does that actually mean?

Thanks for the advice so far, I'm gong to get some better photo's as these don't show the scale and larger fish. And will post in the add here and two other forums I have found. Am going to try the garden centers as hadn't thought of that but it sounds a really sensible idea. Will also call Craig in the midlands as sounds like a chap that might have some more ideas to share as well. Thanks all, its a big help.
