Hi everyone! Hope you are all having the best day :)
I am looking for some partners for my fish. very well established tanks (3 tanks) i am looking for a female apistogramma (double red), a male honey gourami and pearl gourami. a male german blue ram.
I live in Falkirk, Scotland but can travel a reasonable distance.
if any of you lovely people can help, please let me know.
Thanks for reading :)
 
Welcome. I don't recall a large amount of Scottish traffic on here lately, not that I am counting, so might have missed them! If you get no joy here, there is a load of rehoming and other fish groups on Facebook. I'm not really a Facebook person generally, but I set up an account for fish groups.
 
I hate to break the news but there is no species of apistogramma called 'double red'. Now you probably mean a. cacatuoide but you could also mean a. macmaster or possibly even agassizii. As anyone can add any colour destination to any species of domestically bred fish it is more important that you list the species and not the colour. Having said that there are not very many dwarf cichild keepers from Scotland on this forum. But there are many dwarf cichild in scotland and if you can swallow your pride the uk.

Oh - maybe time has changed - i had some scottish friends who looked 'down' on the brits.
 
We just don't like each other when the rugby or international football games are on. I am hoping Wales and Ireland will win the playoffs so they can join us two :) . I don't see NI making it very far.

If you can't find anyone close by, the next best option is a store. I'm not aware of many stores outside Glasgow or Edinburgh, apart from one in Livingston. If I recall, it's a Maidenhead Aquatics. You could ring up there asking, and they may potentially get something on order for you. I do reckon the Gourami and the ram will be more common to find than the apsito. Your other option is online delivery, but with the weather up north at the moment. Probably not the best idea :confused:
 
I wish you lived close by. I have 9 triple red female Apistogramma cacatuoides that I need to rehome from a July 3 hatch. I already rehomed 10 females.
