I have been looking for 1 of these for over 3 years now and as I had a lot of success on here finding my ATF I thought I would try it. Will travel almost anywhere in the uk for the right fish!

Thanks

You tried Wharf, Rare, or Pier?
 
I'm sure ive seen a large one for sale recently on aquatics classified , do a county search think it was Cheshire
 
Yep just double checked its 18" though obviously outgrown someones tank , its for sale/swaps but no price , in cheshie not that this helps as ive just seen your after a baby one (sorry just woke up with hangover ;) )

Yea I have looked on there every week since I started looking for 1 lol always big ones but I would really like to grow 1 out if I can, if I can't find 1 by the time my ATF grows big I will probably buy a big 1 lol

IDK if it helps but small ones (under 10"-12" TL) are exceedingly rare this side of the pond. http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/f...us-pictus-for-sale-in-the-US&highlight=pictus

I was able to get 2 6"-ers recently. They grow very quickly though. They got to 12" in a couple of months.

Yea I guessed that, but the thing I like most about fish keeping is getting them from tiny to the monsters they become, guess I just have to keep being patient. Thanks for the reply

Why not contact the guy selling the 18" one and ask him where he got his

You can get ANYTHING in the UK

Just because the shops above don't have them in stock doesn't mean they won't order one in for you

Or you could call wildwoods or world of water

Or even use fish Finder UK website
