you come across a hard to find fish, which could bump up the numbers of something you already have, only to see signs of disease in the tank and consequently run a proverbial mile?

Came across a tank of "Mackeral Barb" (Barilius spp.) at Cadnam today, where my four B. canarensis and three B. dogarsinghi came from last summer, only to find ich spores in their fins. :(

Having looked at my existing ones in the 5-footer when we got back, it looks like they were a different species anyway, so I should not get too down... I can forsee a trip to Maidenhead Aquatics in Findon coming, who allegedly have several Barilius species, as I would love to give them a good sized group.
 
Goat, every time you mention a fish I have to google it because I've never heard of it before lol!

Nice :)
