I'm off to a ball in Manchester in a couple of weeks, and I'm going to have some spare time on the Sunday, so was thinking of going to some shops for a browse... I know about the abyss (in Stockport I think?) And was wondering if anyone knows anywhere else that's worth a look? It's mostly big toothy things and oddballs I like

Yes I can give you a list of shops no probs Manchester is my city :)
World if water is nearest to me my mates the manager so I could get you hooked up there if anything took your fancy ;) , there's the abyss (prob won't have anything big in there I got my baby jardini from there few months back ) also Lancashire characins on Stockport its a new store few months old but they have good stock in I went last week , I also went to pier aquatics in Wigan a few days ago this is the place to go its full of mfk treats I found it hard not to spend a fourtune in that shop , well worth the trip over to Wigan imo
There's also shops in Salford , Stretford and city centre all have oddballs but not many so you have to strike lucky with these.
Hope this helps you out ? Let me know how you get on or if you need any more info glad to help you out , Danny

Thanks :) going to be a good Sunday I think :) now to work on persuading the partner that I should set up my spare tank... we're staying in didsbury, so will head across to Wigan first I think... going to be like a kid in a sweet shop though, the lfs seem to be fantastic around there compared to here...

I wouldn't mind some sort of freshwater dwarf puffer, as I could house one... if I had free reign, I'd have half the shop I think... want to go have a drool over some rays, channa etc if possible, but know I can't house them atm... was thinking possibly avocado puffer
