Evening all.
Im staying in a hotel in france on business, and they have a 10 foot tank in reception with big gold fish.
Was having a little look at the big orange dullarda when i spotted the biggest clown loach ive ever seen. easily a good 10", playing dead behind the heater.
Will grab a photo in morning.
Either way, they clearly dont know what they have... and i was thinking of making them an offer they couldn't refuse.
Think its possible to get a fish posted back to the UK safely?
Im leaving on friday, so let us know.:nilly:
Cheers
Craggy
(photos on the way soon)

Must see the pic.
How are you getting back yourself? If driving why not get your hands on a polybox and put him in that for the trip?

Right then.
Spoken to the guy who owns the tank (well, inherited it when he bought the hotel 6 years ago). he thinks hes got a "nemo" lol gotta love ignorance.
Either way, he absolutely loves this fish, and fair play to him. Guess i'll just have to man up and buy myself a shoal and grow some monster clowns when i get back home. :(
But, my fellow MFKers, enjoy. (only have my camera phone on me im afraid... will try harder next time)

Gorgeous clown! How huge!!!
Shame about the ignorance though. Any idiot knows Nemo lives under the sea so why he thought he could keep it in freshwater I'll never know..
