Hi all,

Looks as though I've got to drive the Mrs up to a Beauty Therapist's show at the Birmingham NEC this Sunday - rather that follow her around looking at manicure kits and the like I thought it might give me the opportunity to check out some fish shops - cany anyone reccomend any? I'll be heading up the M5 from Gloucestershire

Cheers

Andy

personally shirley aquatics i dont find have much stock.

if you try erdington aquatics its more north of birmingham. i found them to be really good. they have a large selection of more rarer fish..

google it for the address.

Erdington is great for a look, but every fish I have bought from there has had something wrong with it and died. Might be just my luck but I wont buy from there again.

Whether the staff are knowledgable or not is pot luck, some are pretty good, others there are more than clueless.
However, everything I've bought there has died with the exception of 6 danios (and nope it's not be being useless as everything I've bought from 2 other LFS's, tri-mar, modaz and sarah are all alive and well).
