Losing the odd one I can cope with buy 5 fish from same LFS within 2 weeks is not on.
I was gonna see how good this guy was and give him a list of some plecs I want and see if he can get them but I do not think I will bother now

I know he gets all his fish from czech republic but most LFS's get fish from here atm

You're right Jag, most do come from the Czech Republic, and having seen the price lists, you wouldn't believe how cheap they come in

However, what they offer on the list and what ya get is 2 different things.

I think the biggest thing is how long they quarantine the fish before selling them.

Also, there was a programme on the tv the other night about what rights you have regarding pets/animals dying soon after purchase, and I believe that you have at least a week before the "warranty" no longer counts. How easy to enforce is another matter, especially with fish, as we all know how settling fish in can be.

Also, I got it wrong, we didn't get the albino's from there lol, it was a male brown longfin who is about to moved out from his first brood

Went to Fish Inc today and tbh I love it, Lindsey seems very knowledgeable imho an excellent shop

glad you liked it its well worth the visit lyndsey is a great bloke

Thanks for letting us no angi,,,

Might pay a visit but was not impressed with his fish
All bar one I got from him died
Might be worth stocking up on some accessories etc thou and maybe food

called into blue ocean the other day and was impressed with how sean as done the shop out looks really nice

Man I wish there was a Pier Aquatics branch around the corner from my place- what an awesome range of pleco's.
Any way the reason for the post , not sure if you guys in the UK have recently checked Pier's
"new fish list", I spotted something called a red seam Ancistrus ,if any of you guys wanna look.

ive never been but im going to make the effort to go and have a nosey would get some of these red seams but im all out of room untill i thin out did you see the size of the l182 never seen them at that size for sale

Pier Aquatics is pretty good, but one thing to remember is ever you see a fish advertised you want get there quick as word of mouth about PA spreads pretty quick and as they will not reserve stock, if you snooze you loose

Weren't they L183( white seams,the tank full of about 30) deano? but yes you are right I've never seen a group of the "black Ancistrus" like that , they'd have be a wild caught colony- don't ya reckon?
