[Bloo]

OK, I'm sorry to jump on the "look this is aweful" bandwagon. But come on: this is just the cherry on the cake
And to think they have another 499 of these selections to sell!

For £15.25 + £12.95 you can get:

Algae Clean Up Squad for Tropical Tanks
Description: A selection of fish that are guaranteed to keep your tank clean and algae free. No need for chemicals or effort, let nature do the work for you.

The selection consists of the following fish:
2 x Sucking Loach (ok, so two Chinese Algae Eaters - each can grow up to 10")
2 x Gold/Albino Sucking Loach (ok, so two more Chinese Golden Algae Eaters - each can grow up to 10")
2 x Plecostomus (who knows, but lets guess a common plec? say conservative 2ft each?)
1 x Albino Plecostomus (who knows, but lets guess a common plec? say conservative 2ft?)
2 x Gold Apple Snails

I think they forgot to mention that you'd need a tropical pond for this nifty little selection

Oh dear, I`m new to fish keeping and was just sold two chinese sucking loaches and assured that they were a good choice for a community tank of small fish.

Hope they`ll exchange them!

How about this

Yellow Morph Cichlids (aka labidochromis caeruleus)


5-6cm

And this

Community Catfish Selection for Tropical Tanks
Description: A selection of catfish that are easy to keep and suitable for any community tropical tanks. He should probably mention the addtion of two common plecs will overload all but the largest tanks. At least this time he included more and 2 cories.

The selection consists of the following fish:
1 x Albino/Gold Plecostomus
1 x Plecostomus
2 x Bronze Corydoras
2 x Peppered Corydoras
2 x Albino Corydoras
2 x Ghost Cats


Assorted African Malawi Cichlids


5-6cm
Description: A lively colourful addition to tropical aquariums. May nip at the fins of smaller tankmates, so not advised for the community aquarium. So now he decides to be cautious and suggest not putting malawis with smaller tanks mates because they're "nippy". I nominate that for the understatement of the year.

Ugh, I hate coming across that kind of stuff, just makes me mad.
