Fish Aficionado
So I absorbed the fact that it's possible to post live fish to my door, after realising that they obviously travel thousands of miles to get here in Blighty.
So I go browsing on-line, to see what's available and the P&P costs involved.
I got as far as one retailer, who was offering what they loosely refer to as 'Starter Packs' and 'Tank Filler Packs', consisting of an assortment of fish, some plants and/or snails or frogs!
One pack;
2x Assorted Cory M
3x Glowlight Tetra M
3x Assorted Danio M
3x Neon Tetra M
2x Gold Honey Gourami
2x Red Honey Gourami
4x Black Neon M
1 x Spotted Pleco
Another one;
6 x Neons
4 x Assorted Platy
1 x Siamese Fighter (Red or Blue)
2 x Frogs
Bear in mind that there's no indication anywhere about water parameters, or tank sizes, although there is this: "Please check the suitability of the fish in the packs with any existing fish."
Is it me, or is fish welfare still not a consideration?
I think I'll stick to driving long distances.
