Thanks Danny yea they had good stock there I was impressed, I thought they only did pond fish and supplies until I see this guy on aquarist classifieds lol
its definitely improved over the last five years or so well at least the manc one has , matt the manager of Manchester is into monsters like us and he's my mate from school so its all good for me he sorts me out big time on loads of stuff and helps me out of a lot of tank/fish related problems.
I think all the world of waters have great stock lists and they can send fish between stores for customers if needs be , I've had a quick look at the list in our store its got good selection of potential monsters on it
