Yes I get most my bit's from there too. I've only been keeping fish since last May but started visiting 'Frosts' fairly regularly beforehand to pick the brains of the guys in there. Try catch them on late night opening which is Thursdays, they have alot of time to chat with you then as it's very quite.

I too have been to Birleys which again seemed to be very good, I got my Cigar Shark & Purple Spotted Gudgeon from there. I get most of my fish from Brigg though followed by the odd Angelfish at Barton Water Gardens (mainly small fish here).

I was at Maidenhead Aquatics in Upper Poppleton (Near York) last Friday, thats worth a visit if your ever over on the North Bank. (I happended to be at the Railway Museum to take my 3yr old boy there for the day to see Thomas the tank engine so popped in )

As for my tank & cabinet - yes they provided the full lot.

How's your new tank going btw?

Small world indeed!! Where do you live in North Lincs? I'm at Barton-upon-Humber.

Yes my son is fairly interested in the fish too. He asked me tonight why the fish don't wipe their bum when they've done a poo!!! Had to laugh!!

Pleased your new tank is going well. Mines fine too thanks, just mulling over getting a Brittlenose as I'm lacking in clean up crew

But to be honest I'm not that keen on the look of their noses... but we'll see.

im in s####horpe.not too far from you then.I lived in barton when I was very small for a while.

why dont fish wipe their bum! good one,kids eh

Ive got a bristlenose,hes ace,does a very good job on cleaning up.can be territorial towards other sucking fish though.

my daughter has claimed the 4ft tank as hers!!
