    Howist,

    Where can i buy good quality cheap fish in Hatfield pta?

    I have googled and i have not come up with much and i have bought from a shop at the leaping frog in four-ways before but i find the fish often die / just don't look hundreds and they are always so expensive.

    Is there no like wholesaler where you can get young and healthy fish for cheap?


    Also does any one know where i can find some freshwater invertebrates?
    I think that the crayfish type creatures look so cool crawling around the bottom of the tank?
    some think like this (Link removed - moderator edit)


    Thanks

    Good quality and cheap does not really fit together in the same sentence. You will always pay more for the fish that have been properly quarantined. I would suggest that you visit Pet Stop, one of the sponsors. They usually have good quality fish. I have bought for them a number of time and have had no problems.
    The invertabrates that you are looking for are all unfortunately on the black list. You do get some stunning shrimps, but we are not allowed to keep, import, sell, ect them in South Africa. The fresh water crayfish (also on the balck list) however are serious predators and when the get big, they will kill just about anything that you have in your tank.

    Your in Hatfield,

    Look under Sponsers for Pet Stop, not far from you.

    They have excellent fish and are really helpful


    Have fun
