Fish Addict
Went for a trip over to Peterborough to have a look at The Waterzoo and Maidenhead Aquatics where timmystood works. Had a great day out with my 4y/o daughter and my Uncle and obviously purchased some live stock aswell!!! 
The Waterzoo washuge compared to what it looked like from the outside and they had some nice livestock although the tanks weren't as full as I was hoping for midweek and they didn't have a huge amount of my type of stock, (which is not a dig at the store), however, I did find the staff a little unhelpful and as there weren't many of them about either I ended up leaving a little earlier than expected with a few back issues of PFK, always good to have, and just some Java moss. To be honest I knew I wasn't purchasing livestock here as I was meeting Tim at Maidenhead but the staff weren't to know that were they!!!
Went for a bit to eat and then about 10 miles up the road to Maidenhead where I was in for a treat!!! I envy anyone within a 15 mile radius of this place, I wouldn't go anywhere else and I think my G/F would be taking out an injuction for the kids! Amazing display tanks, great livestock, a good feel about the place and it doesn't hurt when you know a member of the staff from this forum to give you the guided tour!!! Tim was really good and I can see why George (Farmer) uses this place regular. The livestock was of a very high standard and I'm sure Tim will back me up and say I was caught in approx. 8 minds about which Corydoras to purchase.
I went with the intention of 1 shoal of 1 type of Cory and an L-number and despite numerous ribbing from Tim
to get 4 of each, Panda and Zygatus I stuck to my guns and with a lot of willpower and a tough time for Tim trying to catch good-sized fish I came away with a great shoal of 8 Pandas. Tim, I will be back in approx. 8 weks hopefully for Zygatus or Venezuelanus so mak sure you keep hem stocked up well. 
Also purchased a Queen Arabesque which I really liked the look of, L-260 and they all seem to have settled down really well. Once again, thanks to Tim and to the forum for making 2 more members into friends. I have tons more to say about the place but the post would just drag, put simply, make a visit to Maidenhead at P'boro very high on the agenda. If there is anyone local to myself, Leicester/Leicestershire and would like to car share for a trip in a couple of months then I am ore than open to offers.
