Its one of the better shops IMO. But be aware they're closed on Saturdays.....

Just noticed the time you posted RichardB..... does the list indicate you were in a dreamstate???

Some lovely fish in that list. If I had the space I would be ringing to enquire about the L24 :)

I was really impressed with this shop when I visited. The fish were in great condition and there were quite a few rarities.

They even had things like Barboides gracilis when I went.

It's also not easy to find, as its basically on a farm in the middle of nowhere. I got pretty lost when I went!

I think our mutual friend Ralf showed some of these in his fish-room...

wow..now that would be a fun trip. :-BD

I'd be way tempted by the pseudacanthicus and the Peckoltia snethlageae and the L239 of course ;))

They might have been the Danionella priapus? I know he's had these for a while.

You are probably right. I had an interesting visit, either way. Lots of unusual fish - particularly the freshwater puffers, and some self-collected fish. And some interesting dyed bones/cartilege from the scientific samples...
