We understand how deeply you care. Whether your fish has been with you for years or just a short while, the decision to part ways is never easy. At Orange County Fish Rescue, we honor that bond. We know these aren’t “just fish”—they’re quiet companions, tiny personalities, and living beings who’ve shared your space and your heart.

When you entrust your fish to us, you’re not giving up—you’re giving them a new beginning. We provide safe, species-appropriate environments, gentle handling, and the kind of care that comes from genuine love and expertise. Every fish we welcome is treated with dignity, and every story behind them matters to us.

You’re not alone in this. Whether your tank has outgrown your space, your circumstances have changed, or you simply want the best for your aquatic friend, we’re here to help—with compassion, not judgment.

Thank you for loving them enough to seek the right path forward. We’ll take it from here—with open arms, open tanks, and open hearts.
