Out of my entire classroom I was the only one who could take a bunch of baby mummichogs and a Chesapeake Bay Blue Crab off of my teacher's hands. The crab is also a baby. Unfortunately I have three cats that love to chase things and I am unable to keep the mummichogs with me so I am looking for a place to release the babies if not then someone who can take them. I know it is bad to release fish that you have had them in a tank for awhile but these are still babies as well as the crab so can they adjust?

That would be really cool. I just have to talk it over with my mother. She wants to release them somewhere around where she works. They are really too small to be released from what I know though. The only problem would be getting it to you. I think you live out of state from me. I don't know how long they can live inside of this folgers container my teacher gave me so kinda have to figure something out tonight for them.

From the sounds of things we are just going to release them at the shipyard where she works. Sorry. I just really wanted to know if they would be alright there since they are so small still.

You should not release them. In fact, please don't release them. I don't know what options you have, but releasing them should not be one. It would actually be better to kill them as crude as that may sound.

there not hard to ship and drewish is right just kill them if you cant keep them or send um out.
they would live for about 4-5 weeks in the can if you did daily water changes. They are very hardy so hardy in fact they sent mummichogs in to space for a trial

I'm sorry. If I checked the board before I left with my mother then I would have tried to do something else but it was the only thing left to do. It wouldn't be fair to let them die in that container.
