hello from essex

Hi im new,

my name is diane or fishyfeet, depending how well you know me, i have three large tanks which ive run down and was gonna sell off, then i kept a few plecs in there sold all the other fish, and they decided to breed, so now ive got the bug again, i have two long finned albinos who desparately need a male so if anyone has one or some young for sale give me a shout. In the large tank i have two males and three females (I think) and they have breed two or three times but the young dont seem to survive very long. I came on here looking for some young to buy not to sell anything but seems i cant post anyway. I may go fish hunting again in the near future but not sure what to get to be honest, we have hard water nearly got a couple of discus although they havent interested me before, angels are always good, but ive done that before.

Hey Diane & welcome
I know someone who has some brown longfin youngsters in Oxford... dont know how far you want to travel lol!
If you are interested let me know and I will pm the details!

hmmm its a bit far, i will bare it in mind, di

They can be quite hard to find
I got mine from Oxford because I was down there visiting friends but its a long way to go for fish...
Have always been worried about having fish posted too...

Hi Diane and welcome to Bristlenose world.

There are some sellers in the trade room who are willing to post. When you consider how much you could spend on petrol driving around trying to find some it's a good option. You can still send them a private message even if you can not post.

ive posted fish fine, but there is a technique and not as simple as your think, esp fish like plecs, small fry are the easiest and shrimps are a doddle speaking of which ive loads of algae shrimps is anyone wants some. Ive never had a problem and i remember the first time i posted i was sweating and worried all day but there were fine always send live next day delivery before 1pm guaranteed. I had one lot misdelivered and go missing there were fine too, if you pack them right you cant go wrong. di
