comfortably numb
i just got back from swallow aquatics in rayleigh. and i must say its probably the best lfs i have been to. superb variety spotless tanks not a single dead or sick looking fish. the marine section just blew me away for the sheer variety , they must of had easily 50 different species as well as inverts corals etc . very good range of cichlids too .
as for the display tanks i could of sttod and stared at them for hours and hours . a massive reef tank which must of been easily 9 foot long 4 or 5 foot high and 3 or 4 foot fron to back , and a massive african cichlid tank in the middle of the fish house which was around 6 foot by 6 foot and probaly 7 foot tall , and a dwarf caimen enclosure which looked literally like somebody had cut the side off of a jungle pond and stuck a glass viewing panel on the front, very impressive indeed.
i bought 40 cardinal tetra which were bagged with oxygen pumped in then put double bagged in a darker bag and given to me in a polybox.
its worth going just for the big displays . well done swallows keep it up
