It's ages since I've had tropical fish after my youngest murdered them all by feeding them a packet of crisps!

I always used the one on Carr's Industrial Estate, I can't remember it's name but I'm sure some-one will, it's a big white building.

Check out the tropical frogs Kipax, they are ace to keep, I could sit and watch those for hours.

Aquascope at Gt Harwood or Barry Price's on Carrs industrial estate in Haslingden are your best bet

Hehehe Kipax there must be something in the air LOL after a long break from losing my tropical frogs ive got the tank out again & got a couple of goldfish cos the kids won them at the fair & im so chuffed they have so be looking to gain a few more, altho my kids were itching at the shop whilst getting watersafe, for more fish while were were at Barlows Aquatic, Scaitcliffe st, Acc [if you wanted one really local].

Ive ordered tank/fish stuff off ebay which is handy.

Maybe more fish next week once aquarium has settled altho impressed at it so far that all still works well....mmmm snoggy from Aquamania

Tinks we need to go back to that place

Aquamania isn't it?

Talking of Ebay, it ended being cheaper than to buy from aqua shop, just ordered an airpump with line & airstone, P&P, which was cheaper than buying the pump alone from shop.

I got all this off ebay.. quite a bargain actually.. have a look

Darnt let kids see frogs.. stick to tropical fish

Its just that its been so long since I had them ... only thing I can remember is a ruby shark.. used to like watching that.. very gracefull

I was thinking of a ride to harwod but was too late tonight as it closes 4.30 during week.. the one in blackburn closes at 6pm and the one in accy is litrally round the corner.. but looks small.. is it deceptive?

Its like 2 living rooms in a terraced house, I was never too impressed with the stock in the Accy one, much more choice at Harwood and Haslingden. I later moved onto marines so didn't have many dealing with him at accy

accymel · 26-06-2006, 19:28

The one in Accy is relatively small but its amazing what he fits in it LOL seems ok & got what i needed so not too bad if you dont want to be trekking far but depends what you are after though.

accymel · 26-06-2006, 19:31

Not bad Kipax LOL

Least its got all the things to get you started & its local pickup

Now what fish are you after??
