Sounds like a worthwhile visit Richard, especially as it appears you came home with some fish too!
Look forward to seeing some pics...just try not to press the back button next time :wink:

certainly will look out for them - none evident at any of the shops we visited on route to the CSG convention (BAS, Pier, Aqua Life & MA Wigan) although there were some fantastic cats - doubtless there'll be posts on the fish we saw & the stuff in the presentations on PC soon :D

Wholesale Tropicals is a great shop :D

I popped in to have a look at a coupla things for other people & intended to be 20 mins or so....i left 90 minutes later: i had some fish bagged for myself & had a really interesting chat with the guys there. Some of the prices are also really good (no point in having a superb range of fish if they are all out-of-budget)
