Wanted ~ Large Male Bristlenose

As some of you know, we lost our male Longfin. We put in a male but he's obviously not big enough for the gals as they are totally ignoring him, and indeed he is also ignoring them.

I would love a large male to sort out the laydee's lol

Would prefer a brown longfin male, although any other colour morph and even standard finned would be useful.

Thanks for looking.

Oh, we will be away for the weekend so don't worry if we don't get back to you straight away.

Cheers
Angi

EDIT:

Preferably local to Sheffield/South Yorkshire.

LOL

Not yet, we've got to get his daughters wedding over later this year before we can start thinking about ours

We're members of the Sealed Knot, they re-enact the English Civil War, Wayne gets kitted up, I don't, it's not my thing LOL

This is our website if you wanna have a nosey around www.sheffieldroyalists.webs.com

oh i see just took a peek seen wayne in all is kit bet its a good laugh

To be honest Deano, it's a great laugh. The boys get to have some organised aggression, and those of us that don't want to fight can either take part in living history ~ this is where folk dress accordingly, and have tents and living utensils just as they had back in the 17th Century. Alternatively, if you're like me, you can go just for the social aspect, oh, and the camping LOL

Fingers crossed, we'll be hosting some local-ish events next year

If you wanna see a BIG battle - over 2000 members on the field, look on you tube, under sealed knot, york. The video at 10:01 in length is the best one. That weekend (August last year) we had Paddy & Rory McGrath <sp> taking part for a day. Can't wait to see it when it shows on the telly

cheers angi will take a look

I am totally crap at directions and distance, maybe coz I don't drive at all lol Is Sheffield out of your way? I would at least cover the cost of fuel if it's out of your way. As for Walter Worms, they really are brilliant. My website is www.worm-cultures.com and has all the info about them, the Banana and Micro worms are great too, the only downside is they get a little smelly, but other than that they are truly worth their weight in gold. I'll let you have some cultures too if you wanna.

PM me, and I can give you my phone number and perhaps we can sort something out between us

I have seen it Deano, but if the seller is who I think it is, then he's the one that treats fish as commodities and I ain't funding that.

Thanks for the heads up though

ok here goes, it is the season of goodwill....

if you want a decent 3-4 inch male bristlenose then you can have one of mine angi/wayne...

i may be moving home in next 6 months and all i need is friends close by, to help me move my fish at a later date or to house some while i move......

check out some of my other posts, and i think we could have chatted on aquarist classified before.....

and some recent success breeding too so i have a pleco explosion right now and watching for a spare tank going
ready for when we move to establish at new home to make move easier.....

if your interested mail me.... i live in rotherham so not too far....

Hi

We could almost certainly help with holding some fish for ya whilst ya move, but unfortunately we don't have a car so it's unlikely we could do owt else lol

The last time we looked after some fish for someone when they moved, they gave up the hobby and left us with them. As they were malawi's we didn't want them so they ended up at the LFS

All I need to really know is the PH as our's tends to be slightly more acidic and I can start to buffer the water in preparation.

Cheers
Angi

angi/wayne thanks you....

when you need some males let me know will try to holda couple bqack for you
